Physopelta (Neophysopelta) indra Kirkaldy & Edwards, 1902 View in CoL

Physopelta indra Kirkaldy & Edwards, 1902: 165 View in CoL (diagnosis, differences from Ph. quadriguttata View in CoL , distribution).

SYNTYPES: ♂ ♀, India, Puducherry, Mayyazhi (former Mahé) District (depository unknown).

Note. There are no syntypes of this species in BMNH. There are 1 ♂ 2 ♀♀ from the type locality deposited in MNHN (see Material examined), moreover the paper by Kirkaldy and Edwards was based on specimens from collection of A. M. Montandon, but we found no evidence the specimens are the syntypes.

Physopelta indra: DISTANT (1903a) View in CoL : 98 (synonymized with Ph. quadriguttata View in CoL ).

Physopelta quadriguttata View in CoL (partim): BERGROTH (1913): 167 (catalogue, synonym of Ph. quadriguttata View in CoL ).
