Abstract

Six new reports of staphylinids viz., Anotylus glareosus (Wollaston, 1854); Oxytelus bengalensis (Erichson, 1840); Oxytelus incisus (Motschulsky, 1858); Oxytelus lividus (Motschulsky, 1858); Oxytelus nigriceps (Kraatz, 1859) and Oxytelus puncticeps (Kraatz,1859) are recorded for the first time from south India. The current geographical distribution of these are provided.
