1B5C8786B8644C1AAB97941427BAFE2B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species name is based on its resemblance to Euphranta cassiae (Munro).	en	David, K. J., Singh, Shakti Kumar (2015): Two new species of Euphranta Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae: Trypetiane) and an updated key for the species from India. Zootaxa 3914 (1), DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3914.1.4
1B5C8786B8644C1AAB97941427BAFE2B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is similar to E. cassiae with respect to thoracic markings and wing pattern but can be differentiated by the presence of a prominent discal band reaching cell dm and a preapical marking on fore femur.	en	David, K.
