37. Homaloxestis xylotripta Meyrick, [1918] 1916 View in CoL –1923 b: 102

Type locality: N. W. India , Peshawar [Now in Pakistan]

Distribution: Indian records: India. Global records: China, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam.

Host: Cynoglossum lanceolatum (Boraginaceae) .

Remark: Meyrick (1916 – 1923 b) recorded H. xylotripta from Peshawar which was in North-West India previously but after 1947, Peshawar become the part of Pakistan. So the Indian distribution of this species is doubtful. Although Liu & Wang (2014) reported this species from China, India (without mentioning the exact locality in India), Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand and Park (2004) recorded from Thailand. Further studies on this species in India may apprise the exact distributional record of this species in India.
