Euphranta klugii
(Wiedemann)
(
Fig. 56
)
Material examined:
Holotype
Ƥ,
INDIA
: labelled ‘
Dacus klugii
Indian
/ Type’ (UZMC); 1 Ƥ,
INDONESIA
: Java,
Batavia
,
9.iii.1934
, Rev L.B. Cross, at light on boat (OUMNH).
Comments: This species was transferred from
Callistomyia
Bezzi
to
Euphranta
by Hancock (2007) but its identity has remained uncertain. Examination of the
holotype
(
Fig. 54
) has shown it to be a senior synonym of the mangrove-breeding
Euphranta signatifacies
Hardy
(syn. nov.), known previously from southern
Thailand
and West
Malaysia
and newly recorded from Java. The
type
was presumably collected in a mangrove habitat in the Kolkata district of West Bengal; its recorded host plants are
Avicennia officinalis
L. (
Verbenaceae
) and
Rhizophora mucronata
L. (
Rhizophoraceae
) (Hancock and Drew, 1994).
