Maiestas setosa (Ahmed, Murtaza & Malik)

Recilia setosa Ahmed et al., 1988: 412, fig. 2 (Pakistan); Maiestas setosa : Webb and Viraktamath 2009: 20; Naveed et al. 2019: 287; Shah et al. 2021: 406 (Pakistan).

Diagnosis.

The identity of this species remains uncertain due to the limitations of the original description and the accompanying figures. Additionally, the type series from Karachi, which was indicated in the original account as deposited in the Zoological Museum of the University of Karachi ( Ahmed et al. 1988), is unavailable ( Khatri and Webb 2010: 11). Until the type material can be studied, pinpointing the precise classification of this species will be challenging.

Distribution.

Pakistan.
