Asilus lineatus Fabricius, 1781: 465 View in CoL . Type locality: United States ( Virgin Islands: Saint Croix [ St. Crux Americes ] [Type ♀?, NHMD].

World distribution: United States [not India] ( Fabricius 1781: 465; Kertész 1909: 146; Lal 1960: 52; Oldroyd 1975: 123; Scarbrough & Pérez-Gelabert 2006: 81).

Note: Lal (1960: 52) included this species in the Catalogue of Indian Asilidae . This species, however, is endemic to the U.S. Virgin Islands ( Oldroyd 1975: 123; Scarbrough & Pérez-Gelabert 2006: 81). We exclude this species from the Indian fauna as a lapsus.
