( Figs 1A–H View FIGURE 1. A – J ), Figs 2A–B View FIGURE 2. A – B

Prasutagus pulchellus Distant, 1918: 53 View in CoL –54, fig. 57. India. Leofa (Prasutagus) pulchellus, Zahniser, 2008: 18 .

Material examined. India. Syntype Ψ, Nandidrug, T.V. Campbell; syntype? Ψ, same data (see remarks below); 1ď, 6km. E. Kasauli, 12.ix.1985, C.W. & L.B. O’Brien (all BMNH). China 1ď, Guangxi Prov., Longzhou, 700m, 1958-IX-14, grassplot, coll. Sun Huihong (SYU).

Remarks. This species is very similar to curtulus (see remarks under that species). The specimen from China is only tentatively identified as this species as its pygofer process is slightly different in shape (compare figs 1C and 1H). The syntype noted above has a code for the type locality Nandidrug i.e. “ND 9.15” handwritten under the specimen mount, and also Distant’s type determination label and a museum red type disc (BMNH); the syntype (?) has the same data code under the specimen mount, lacks the remaining contemporary labels but has a more modern data label put on by one of us (Webb). Further details on T.V. Campbell’s type material are given by Webb and Viraktamath (in press).
