Poorani, J., 2023, A review of the tribe Noviini (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) of the Indian subcontinent, Zootaxa 5311 (1), pp. 1-47 : 44

rufopilosus ( Mulsant, 1850)

Distribution: China (Shannxi, Gansu, Xizang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong); Vietnam; Myanmar; India; Philippines; Sumatra; Oriental Region ( Pang et al. 2020).

Note. Poorani (2002) included it in the Indian checklist with a comment by R.G. Booth that “records of R. rufopilosa Mulsant (1850: 903) , a Chinese species, from India are probably erroneous”. But Pang et al. (2020) included India in its distribution range.
