Ephemerella indica Kapur & Kripalani, 1961
Cincticostella indica (Kapur & Kripalani, 1961) in Jacobus and McCafferty 2008
Remarks.
Cincticostella indica was described only from the female adult stage ( Kapur and Kripalani 1961) and it was included in Cincticostella by Jacobus and McCafferty (2008), based on the colouration of the abdomen of the female adult, which is similar to that of several other Cincticostella species. Its status was regarded as questionable by Xie et al. (2009). Recently, we tried to examine the holotype of C. indica , but the type specimen could not be located from the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata ( Hubbard and Srivastava 1984). Hence, C. indica cannot be identified and, given that the type material is apparently lost, we hereby regard it as a nomen dubium.
