Morphology and genitalia characters of Nadrana Baly, 1865 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from Sundaland

Taxonomic study of genus Nadrana (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) was carried out using 159 specimens from the existing collections in the Centre for Insect Systematics (CIS), UKM and other repositories namely The Natural History Museum, London (BMNH), Collection of Jan Bezdìk, Bruno (CJB)...
