Stenorhamphus nubiferus ( Distant, 1906)

Guithera nubifera Distant, 1906: 365 .

Stenoramphus nubifera: Elkins, 1962: 423 .

Stenorhamphus nubiferus: Wygodzinsky, 1966: 86 .

Distribution. This species is only known from Peradeniya in Sri Lanka, (approximately 7.26°N, 80.59°E). Both the holotype and the paratype are deposited at British Museum of Natural History. No data is given on how it was collected.

Discussion. Guithera nubifera was described by Distant (1906), based on the holotype and one paratype. Elkins (1962) recognised that it did not belong in Guithera and erected the new genus Stenorhamphus based on examination of the female paratype. We have examined the holotype that is in poor condition.
