Treatment

Endomia ceylonica ( Motschulsky, 1863)

Ochthenomus ceylonicus Motschulsky, 1863: 494 .

Endomia nana Krekich-Strassoldo, 1928: 104 , syn. nov.

Type material examined. Endomia ceylonica . SYNTYPES: 1 ♁ 1 ♀ [mounted on the same label, male lacking head], ‘[h, illegible; yellow round label] // type [h] Ochthenomus ceylonicus Motsch I. or. Ceyl. Colomb [h]’ ( ZMMU) .

Additional material examined. INDIA: MAHARASHTRA, Bombay – Bandra, Javakar leg., 1 ♀ ( BMNH). SRI LANKA: SOUTHERN prov., Ratnapura distr., Panamure env., 11.-12.xii.1995, Bečvář & Košťál leg., 1♀ ( ZKDC) ; EASTERN prov., Arugambay env., 4.-11.vii.2003, O. Mehl leg., 1 ♀ ( ZKDC) .

Distribution. India (Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu), Sri Lanka ( MOTSCHULSKY 1863; BONADONA 1986; KEJVAL 1998; TELNOV 1998, 2001; UHMANN 1983). Records from India (Madhya Pradesh) and Sri Lanka (Medavachiya) by UHMANN (1983) are based on misidentified specimens of E. castelsi ; the respective specimens were listed under this species by KEJVAL (1998).

Remarks. The possible synonymy of E. ceylonica and E. nana was already discussed in my previous paper ( KEJVAL 1998). It is now confirmed by the examination of the syntypes of the former species.
