Hecalus prasinus (Matsumura)

Material examined. No material examined.

Remarks. From the figure (unidentified) given by Mahmood (1979) this species is present in Pakistan (see Appendix). No information is given by Mahmood on specimens examined.

Hecalus sindhensis (Ahmad & Aziz) (Plate 2, e; Fig. 16 ).

Material examined. Pakistan: 63, 8Ƥ, Sindh Prov., Tando Jam, 12.iii.07.

Remarks. Described from a holotype male and several paratypes from: Sind, Dhabeji, 21.vii.1987, Aziz (ZMUK); no type material could be found. The examined material was collected from near the type locality but differs slightly from the original figures of this species in having the connective slightly different in shape, the subgenital plate with fewer spines and the aedeagal shaft slightly less elongate. These features also match H. morrisoni Rao & Ramakrishnan from India, raising the possibility that this species and sindhensis may be synonyms.
