Maiestas setosa (Ahmed, Murtaza & Malik) , comb. nov.

Material examined. No material examined (see Remarks below).

Remarks. Described from a holotype male and several paratypes from: Karachi, grass, 9.viii.1985, Babar (ZMUK); no type specimens could be found. The original figures are too poor to enable identification of the species.

Maiestas tareni (Dash & Viraktamath) (Plate 2, d; Fig. 11 ).

Material examined. Pakistan: several specimens (3, Ƥ), Tando Jam, 22.iv.07.

Remarks. The Pakistan material matches a paratype of tareni ( Fig. 11 b) from India (BMNH) except that the subgenital plate is very slightly more rounded apically ( Fig. 11 c).

Goniagnathini

Remarks. This, one of the most distinctive deltocephaline tribes (see couplet 1 of key), has been recently reviewed by Fletcher & Zahniser (2008). The following two subgenera and species were included in keys to the Indian fauna by Viraktamath & Gnaneswaran (2009).
