Description

Novius manganensis (Singh, 2014), Nomen dubium

Rodolia manganensis Singh, 2014: 153.

Novius manganensis: Pang et al. 2020: 19.

Notes. This species was described from Sikkim, north-eastern India, based on three males. Though it is certainly a species of Novius, the description and the accompanying illustrations are not good enough to enable its correct interpretation. Singh (2014) stated “this species closely resembles with Rodolia andamanica Weise, but can be easily differentiated by shape of apex of median lobe and ‘G’ shaped siphon of male genitalia”. The type depository is not mentioned in the paper and the type material is likely to have been deposited in the collections of Punjabi University, Patiala. It remains untraceable and is presumed to be lost. It is treated as a nomen dubium.

Distribution. India (Sikkim).
