Acythogaster babaulti (Hustache) View in CoL
( Figs. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 4 , 17 View FIGURES 17 – 18 )
Acythopeus babaulti Hustache 1928: 17 View in CoL .
Four syntypes from Bajaura, Himachal Pradesh, India ( MNHN, SNSD); one examined. Transferred to Acythogaster by Heller (1940).
Diagnosis. The flat, triangularly projected elytral apices ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 4 ) are diagnostic for A. babaulti and this was the chief reason why Heller (1940) placed this species in a separate genus. In all other respects, it is a typical member of the diverse, cucurbit-associated Acythopeus Pascoe complex.
Distribution. The species has been known from India, Vietnam and Hong Kong ( Hustache 1928; Heller 1940; Morimoto & Yoshiha 1996). It is reported here for the first time from the Chinese administrative areas of Tibet, Xinjiang and Yunnan ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 17 – 18 ). All collections but one are from the Oriental region.
Biology. Unknown.
