Description

Mispila (s. str.) assamensis Breuning, 1938

(Figure 11)

Mispila assamensis Breuning, 1938: 381; Kariyanna et al., 2017: 193; Mitra et al. 2017: 87.

Mispila (Mispila) assamensis: Breuning, 1961a: 281; Breuning, 1963b: 487.

Type material examined. India: Holotype, female: ‘ Type [p, label circular, red framed]; Assam / Patkai Mts [h]; Doherty [p]; Fry Coll. / 1905.100. [p]; 61563 [h]; Mispila. / assamensis / mihi Typ. [h] / det. Breuning [p]; NHMUK014596495 ’.

Non-type material examined. India: 1 male: ‘India / Orient [h]; Ex Mus / Parry [h]; 43297 [h]; NHMUK014596464 ’.

Comments. This species is very similar to M. tenuevittata (Pic, 1930) (Figure 8e–j, identified as M. sonthianae in the NHM collection). Comparison of the type specimens will probably reveal that M. assamensis Breuning, 1938 is a junior synonym of M. tenuevittata (Pic, 1930).
