Cyclopelta subhimalayensis Strickland, 1937
Family Dinidoridae

Note: Cyclopelta subhimalayensis Strickland is currently considered a nomen dubium, but probably refers to another Cyclopelta species occurring in northern India.

Food Use:

This species "is eaten with rice by the Assamese who believe that eating any of these species without first removing the stink gland is followed by paralysis.  However, investigations which included ingestion of entire bugs by monkeys and intra-venous injection of material from the gland into cats, did not confirm this paraliytic effect." (Hoffmann, 1947)
