Jansenia rugosiceps is a species of tiger beetle found in southern India.[1][2][3] 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.[3] An examination of pygidial gland chemical defenses found that the species does not produce significant benzaldehyde unlike many other tiger beetle species.[4]
