Lophyra lineifrons is a species of tiger beetle found in Asia mainly along the northern Gangetic plains of India and into Thailand, Yunnan, ^[1] Laos and Vietnam. They can be confused with Lophyra striolata which also overlaps with the species in northern India. Other species can be told apart from characters of the labrum. ^[2]
