Material examined. One male and one female from: INDIA: Karnataka / Chintamani / 16.x.2006 / Shobharani, M. Specimens are identified as Prasutagus pulchellus Distant , det. C. Viraktamath, 2007. Dr. Viraktamath has examined the type female and states that the type agrees with the specimens he identified and were examined here (C. Viraktamath, personal communication).

Discussion. L. curtulus (Motchulsky) (= Deltocephalus oneratus Melichar, 1903 ) appears to be very similar to L. pulchellus based on the figures of Vilbaste (1975). However, M. Webb and C. Viraktamath, after examining syntypes of D. oneratus , confirm that the two are different (personal communication).
