Notes

Authority: Matsumura 1917; Unlikely to be from India: Incorrectly listed in India and Burma by Schumacher (1915). According to Metcalf (1963), Schumacher referred to a specimen misidentified as Pycna repanda (actually Platypleura takasagona ) and likely stated the locality information associated with P. repanda and not P. takasagona .
