Euphranta corticicola (Hering) View in CoL

( Figs 53–55 View FIGURES 53 – 56. 53 – 55 )

Material examined: Holotype Ƥ, INDONESIA: Java, Karny, Depok [near Bogor], 23.iii.1924, H.H. Karn (RMNH); 1 Ƥ, THAILAND: Tum Rusee, Doi Pui, Chiang Mai, 9.ix.1993, Chantanee et al. (QDPI).

Comments: This species has become confused in the literature, with specimens referred to it by Hancock and Drew (2004) belonging to new species described above. Examination of the holotype ( Figs 53–55 View FIGURES 53 – 56. 53 – 55 ) has shown it to be the same as that reported from Thailand by Hardy (1973, 1983) and Hancock and Drew (1994). The scutum has a yellowish medial band that broadens into a rounded spot posteriorly and the abdomen is largely fulvous with broad black lateral margins on terga II–V. The wing, scutal and abdominal markings are very similar to those of E. separata (Ito) from Japan but the latter species differs in having the tibiae and tarsi yellow rather than brown to black. Note that E. corticicola was described from a single specimen (Hering, 1952); paratypes supposedly in BMNH reported by Hardy (1983) are actually of E. nigrocingulata (Hering) from Kambaiti, NE Burma.
