Notes

Authority: Distant 1904c; Not from Sri Lanka: Hayashi (1987a) states "In BM, there is a male specimen of varicolor collected from Ceylon bearing the "Type" label and Distant's determination; this is not identical to varicolor Distant but with exalbida , as discussed in part 1 of this paper." Subsequent records in Duffels and van der Laan (1985), from Pringle (1955) are as a result of this misidentification.
