Maiestas butleri (Distant) View in CoL . Comb. nov.
Deltocephalus butleri Distant, 1918: 83 View in CoL , India.
Deltocephalus (Recilia) butleri (Distant) Dash & Viraktamath, 1998: 7 View in CoL (in key).
Type material examined. Syntypes: 2♀, S. India, Kodai Kanal, T.V. Campbell ( BMNH). One of the syntypes also has a Distant handwritten determination label with the word ‘type’, a BMNH red type disc and a label: “S. India, E.A. Butler, 1915-60” .
Remarks. This species is tentatively included in Maiestas pending the examination of males. It can be distinguished externally by the extra cross veins in the forewing and a fine brown line parallel to the fore margin of the head either side of the midline. The former character would key out the species in the first couplet of Dash & Viraktamath’s, 1998 key.
