(6) Diaphanosoma senegal Gauthier, 1951 View in CoL

Indian records. Assam —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2008a, b); Goa— Rane (2008); Madhya Pradesh — Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988), Maharashtra — Brehm (1952b, 1953); Manipur —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S.

(2009a); Meghalaya —Sharma S. (2010a); Rajasthan — Venkataraman (1992b); Tamil Nadu — Venkataraman & Krishnaswamy (1984d), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2002, 2009); Uttar Pradesh — Korovchinsky (2004); General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984), Sharma B.K. & Michael (1987), Murugan et al. (1998), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003).

Remarks. Valid species described from Senegal ( Gauthier 1951). It is common in India. Several Indian authors recorded this under the taxonomically incorrect name “ D. senegalensis ”, see below.

Distribution. India, South-East Asia and West Africa ( Korovchinsky 2004; Korovchinsky & Sanoamuang 2008).

Diaphanosoma senegalensis Gauthier, 1951

Indian records. Maharashtra — Rane (2005a, 2006); Rajasthan — Venkataraman (1992b); Tamil Nadu — Venkataraman & Krishnaswamy (1984d), Venkataraman (1993a, 1999b).

Remarks. This name was suggested to replace D. senegal , because according to the opinion of Venkataraman & Krishnaswamy (1984d) "the name D. senegal given by Gauthier seems to be inappropriate according to International Rules of Zoological Nomenclature". This idea was not supported by following authors, who concluded that Gauthier's name is grammatically and “ideologically” correct ( Korovchinsky 1992, 2004). So, D. senegalensis is a junior synonym of D. senegal .

Diaphanosoma siddharthii Rao, Padmaja & Naidu, 1998
