(Oncopsis) and Igerna violacea (Distant) comb. nov. (Nehela). The following species are treated as new synonyms: Agallia pseudorobusta Kameswara Rao & Ramakrishnan syn. nov. of Anaceratagallia cuspidata Dlabola; Anaceratagallia delhiensis Kameswara Rao & Ramakrishnan syn. nov. of Anaceratagallia robusta Pruthi; Agallia campbelli Distant syn. nov. and Agallia janaka Distant syn. nov. of Hemagallia biplagiata (Melichar); Agallia rugosa Distant syn. nov. and Agallia bhuntra Sawai Singh syn. nov. of Hemagallia plotina (Distant), Austroagallia bisinuata Viraktamath & Viraktamath syn. nov. of Igerna quadrinotata (Melichar), and Dryodurgades bifurcatus Cai & Shen syn. nov. of Dryodurgades formosana (Matsumura). Most of these taxa are described and illustrated. Keys to genera and species are also included. |
