Figs 100–105.

Anaceratagallia cuspidata Dlabola 1957: 298–299 , figs 106–110. HOLOTYPE ♂, AFGHANISTAN, [Not examined].

Agallia pseudorobusta Kameswara Rao and Ramakrishnan 1978a: 236–237 , fig. 1 a–l. HOLOTYPE ♂, INDIA: Delhi [NPC, Examined] syn. nov.

Color. Coloration and structure as in Anaceratagallia robusta (see below).

Male genitalia. Pygofer with short, ventrally directed spine-like projection. Subgenital plates with a few short setae on ventral margin. Styles with inner arm gradually boradened distally, with truncate apex, longer than inner arm. Aedeagal shaft gradullay narrowed distally, with pair of denticles at distal 0.33. Anal collar with caudal lobe tridentate.

Measurements. Male 3.3 mm long, 1.3 mm wide across eyes.

Material examined. HOLOTYPE ♂ of Agallia pseudorobusta Kameswara Rao and Ramakrishnan , INDIA: Delhi, Berseem , 2.iv.1974, P.K. R ( NPC) . PARATYPES, 3 ♂, Delhi, light dome and Berseem , ii.1974, P.K. R ( NPC) .

Remarks. This species externally resembles A. robusta (see below). However, it can be easily distinguished by the tridentate anal collar process and the tooth-like paired projections on the aedeagal shaft. This species may not be a true member of Anaceratagallia as it has the inner arm of the style broad as in Nandigallia gen. nov. (see below), but has the male pygofer more typical of Anaceratagallia .
