Notes. Type material not examined. The type of Serville's Tetrix harpago was not found in Paris (MNHN) nor Madrid (MNCN), but one specimen collected by Henri Louis Frédéric de Saussure, probably by comparison with Serville's specimens in Paris. The specimen belongs to E. harpago. 1♂ Indes. Or. INI M r H y de Sauss. (MNCN). Furthermore, specimens of S. kempi reported by Seeman et al. (2018) in fact belongs to E. harpago (JS checked the specimen in Tumbrinck's collection).

Type locality: India: Maharashtra: Mumbai [= Bombay in Seville (1938)].
