Notes
Authority: Walker 1850; Distant (1906a) refers to a male specimen, but lists two locations. Unlikely to be from India or Sri Lanka: Lee (2012b) states that the type specimen of Terpnosia psecas (Walker, 1850) is a female from Java. Male specimens identified by former authors were not true T. psecas but were T. elegans (Kirby, 1891) from Sri Lanka. The possible confusion with India has not been resolved due to specimen unavailability Kato (1932), however it is highly unlikely given the reported range (Indonesia and Malaysia). Subsequent references to India and Sri Lanka in Duffels and van der Laan (1985) and Sanborn (2014) are likely in reference to these previous misidentifications.
