Description

2. Euscelinus gibbosus Sharma 1983 comb. nov.

Euremeros gibbosa Sharma 1983, Reichenbachia 21(2): 129.

Type locality. India: Uttarakhand: Dehradun: Manduwala.

Type repository. Entomological collections, Forest Research Institute, Dehradun (as per original publication however mentioned as ‘unknown’ in Singh et al. 2021.

Distribution. India: Jharkhand (Ranchi); Uttarakhand (Dehradun); Deccan Peninsula: Chhota Nagpur, Upper Gangetic Plains (Sharma 1991; Singh et al. 2021).

Comments. The nomenclatural correction to the species epithet is made as it should follow the gender of the generic name. The interpretation of this species is problematical because of lack of illustrations and the far too short description. However, the few figures of Eurymeros gibbosa clearly show that this species is not belonging to the genus Eurymeros; both wing venation and shape of hind femur and mandible indicate that it also belongs to genus Euscelinus Westwood 1882 (subfamily Doryctinae). It is synonymized with its rather variable type species, E. sarawacus Westwood 1882 (Fig. 4), since no obvious differences are found (syn. nov.).
