Authors/Creators
Description
Deltocephalus brunnescens Distant (Fig. 9). Comb. revived.
Deltocephalus brunnescens Distant, 1908: 388, India.
Deltocephalus (Recilia) brunnescens (Distant), Dash & Viraktamath, 1998: 7 (in key).
Deltocephalus bapatlensis Jacob & Rao in Jacob, Rao and Chalam, 2004: 187–190, figs 1–9. Syn. nov.
Material examined. India: 2♀, Pusa H.M. Lefroy; 2♀, Surat, H.M. Lefroy (all syntypes Deltocephalus brunnescens). Sri Lanka: 5♂, 3♀, M. Wilson. All BMNH.
Remarks: The aedeagal shaft is very variable in this species with respect to its width in lateral view and the presence or absence of a spine on the ventral margin (compare Figs 9k and 9q). However, as both forms can occur in the same population (in this case the series from Sri Lanka), they are regarded as a single species.
