Diagnosis and notes
The genus Tumeochrysa can be differentiated among the chrysopid genera in Pakistan by larger body size (forewing length 19–24 mm), head unmarked, scape distinctly enlarged and the presence of three gradated series in both fore- and hindwings. It currently includes 14 extant described species, being restricted to the highlands of India and Nepal, and the southwestern and eastern parts of China: nine species in southwestern parts of China, two species in India, and three species in Nepal. Unfortunately, both the Indian Tumeochrysa species are poorly described in the original or subsequent literatures: T. indica Needham, 1909 , and T. cirerai ( Navás, 1930) were originally described based on male specimens, and thereafter no further details are available, except the illustration of female genitalia for T. indica by Ghosh (1991).
