Jansenia rugosiceps is a species of tiger beetle found in southern India. [1] [2] They are found mainly on rocks and boulders on hills in scrub forest. They measure 11–12 mm (0.43–0.47 in) in length. [2] An examination of pygidial gland chemical defenses found that the species does not produce significant benzaldehyde unlike many other tiger beetle species. [3]
