Goniagnathus (Epistagma) guttulinervis (Kirschbaum)

Goniagnathus bifurcatus Ahmed & Qadeer

Material examined. Pakistan: several specimens (3, Ƥ), Tando Jam, 28.xi.2007. Remarks. Goniagnathus bifurcatus was described from a holotype male and one paratype with original

data: Karachi, grass, 10.xi.1985, Qadeer ( ZMUK); no type specimens could be found.

Goniagnathus (Tropicognathus) quadripinnatus Dash & Viraktamath (Plate 1, i; Figs. 14 , 15 ). Material examined. Pakistan: 13, 1Ƥ, Tando Jam, 28.iv.07.

Remarks. The specimens from Pakistan match the original figures of this species but the apical aedeagal processes are slightly different in shape in lateral view.

Hecalini

Remarks. The following references deal with the Oriental species of Hecalini: Morrison (1973), Rao & Ramakrishnan (1990) and Dash & Viraktamath (1997). Members of the tribe can be distinguished externally by the extended and flattened head, particularly in the female, and the laterofrontal sutures terminating medially and distad of the ocelli ( Figs 16 a). Also, in the female the second valvulae are humped and lack both teeth and dorsal sclerotised and hyaline areas ( Fig. 16 e), the first valvifers have a posterior lobe and the first valvulae have maculose submarginal sculpture both dorsally and apicoventrally ( Fig. 16 f).
