Description

Dilasia indica (Muraleedharan, 1978) comb. nov.

Lasiochilus indica Muraleedharan, 1978: 267. HOLOTYPE:, India: Tamil Nadu, Madras [= Chennai] (ZSI).

Distribution in India. Tamil Nadu: Chennai (MURALEEDHARAN 1978).

General distribution. Endemic.

Taxonomy. MURALEEDHARAN (1978) originally described this species in the genus Lasiochilus Reuter, 1871. Judging from his description, the lack of punctures on hemelytra, strong spines on tibiae, and the shape of paramere are more conducive to its placement in Dilasia.
