ABSTRACT:
Rutelinae constitutes the second largest subfamily of Scarabaeidae in India with around 400 described species in five tribes. The last comprehensive taxonomic revision of the group was by Arrow, 1917 through a fauna of British India Volume on the group. Since then there is no revision of the group. Arrow’s work had a reasonably good collection base covering most areas of India. But Chhattisgarh and many other states remain unrepresented in his work. Even the states represented are, however, poorly sampled. Since 1917, few additions made have also failed to properly sample the country.
