Genus Deleproctophylla Lefèbvre, 1842 View in CoL View at ENA

Deleproctophylla Lefèbvre, 1842: 6 View in CoL . Type species: Ascalaphus australis Fabricius, 1787: 250 View in CoL . Monotypy.

Diagnosis. This genus is remarkably similar to Bubopsis by the long male ectoprocts with one long median branch, and the hyaline forewing with two rows of cells on apical area beyond Sc+R vein, but it can be easily separated by the hind wing with a large brown spot below pterostigma, which is absent in Bubopsis ( Yang et al. 2016: figs 10–13; Rodríguez-Flores et al. 2017: figs 1A–B, 7A–B).

Note. In Asia, this genus is represented by only two species, i.e., Deleproctophylla dusmeti ( Navás, 1914) and D. variegata (Klug, 1845) ( Sziráki 1998) . It currently includes a single species in Pakistan, D. dusmeti (Navás) , which was listed for Ascalaphidae from Turkey by Dobosz & Ábrahám (2007). There is no information about the exact locality of this species in Pakistan. No new specimens were recorded in this study.
