Remarks: There was taxonomic misinterpretation through ages and hence the distributional records associated with the species were in a mess everywhere before Burton (1978) who took pains to sort out the perplexed identity of the species from its allies. Later, Burger and Thompson (1981) aptly illustrated, keyed and discussed these species with a view to making away with the recurrent confusion. This is a very common and widespread species in India, and is often found to enter the house, being attracted by light in hot summer night.
