Maiestas pulviscula (Distant) View in CoL . Comb. nov.

Deltocephalus pulvisculus Distant, 1908: 381–382 View in CoL , India.

Deltocephalus (Recilia) pulvisculus, Dash & Viraktamath, 1998: 6 View in CoL (in key).

Type material examined. Holotype ♀, India: “Pusa, H.M. Lefroy ”, “Distant Coll. 1911-383” ( BMNH).

Additional material. 1♀, same data as holotype ( BMNH) (see Remarks) .

Remarks. The original description of pulviscula indicates darker markings than are present on the specimen labelled as type (BMNH), except the apical dark patch on the hind tibia is clear. The forewings have extra cross veins that would key out the species in the first couplet of Dash & Viraktamath’s (1998) key. Distant (1908) indicated only one specimen had been sent by Lefroy but another similar female specimen (topotypic) with the same labels (see above) is also in the BMNH.
