Trimuricea robusta Fernando, 2011 (species status uncertain)

Trimuricea robusta Fernando, 2011: 50 , pl. 27, fig. 1–1e (Uvari); Fernando et al. 2017: 107, pl. 48, fig. 1–1e (Uvari).

? Trimuricea reticulata ( Thomson & Simpson, 1909) .

Opinion: This species does occur in the region.

Justification:

Literature analysis: Both publications of Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) describe the same material, but without more detailed descriptions and larger illustrations of the sclerites it would be difficult to recognise their species. However, from what information is given Trimuricea robusta appears to bear a very strong resemblance to Trimuricea reticulata .
