Onukia assamensis (Ramakrishnan) View in CoL comb. nov.
Dussana assamensis Ramakrishnan 1989: 45–46 View in CoL , Figs 1–11 View FIGURES 1–9 View FIGURES 10–16 . Holotype ♂, India: Assam [NPC, examined]
Material examined: India: Assam: Holotype ♂, Nagarjunka, 9.ix.1983, Mayaram & V. V. Ramamurthy, on weeds ( NPC).
Remarks: Examination of the type specimen revealed that the species is pale yellow with a black spot on the vertex, the median carina on the head is not raised, the male pygophore has long, slender ventral processes exceeding the pygophore and the aedeagal shaft has a large, elongate, basal hood-like process. These characters showed that the species does not belong to Pythamus but to Onukia Matsumura and hence the generic transfer.
