Genus Flavina Stål, 1861

Flavina Stål, 1861: 209 . Type species: Flavina granulata Stål, 1861 , by original designation. Dolia Kirkaldy, 1907: 95 , syn. nov. Type species: Hiracia walkeri Signoret, 1861 , by original designation.

Comments. I have examined the holotype of Flavina granulata , the type species of the genus Flavina (see GNEZDILOV & WILSON 2007: Figs. 5–6) and compared it with the original description of Hiracia walkeri , the type species of the genus Dolia ( SIGNORET 1861: 57, pl. 2, Figs. 3, 3a, 3b). Both species share the following features: elongate metope with a median and two short sublateral keels joining at its upper margin, beetle-like and convex fore wings, and hind tibia with 5–6 lateral spines. Accordingly, I consider them congeneric. Hiracia walkeri was described from India and erroneously cited by METCALF (1954) from Senegal.
