Hecalus umballaensis Distant

Material examined. Pakistan: Syntype Ƥ, Umballa, 2.vii.1905 ( BMNH).

Remarks. Described from one or more females from: Umballa (ZSI). A female type of this species from Pakistan, was figured by Distant (1908) and Morrison (1973). Subsequently, Rao & Ramakrishnan (1990) figured a male from India. The latter identification could be correct as the authors mentioned the unusual longitudinal yellow bands on the vertex and pronotum, although they did not mention the distinctive spatulate head which is also present in the type. Their figure of the aedeagus matches the unnamed figure by Mahmood (1979, code CP59) but the description of this species (p.47) makes no mention of the bands.
