Eurydiopsis brevispinus Feijen, 1999 View in CoL

( Fig. 10)

Eurydiopsis brevispinus Feijen, 1999: 229 View in CoL (♂ holotype, 1♀ paratype from Myanmar, Mt Victoria, Chin Hills (so quite close to Mizoram), iii.1938 (BMNH), 1♀ paratype from Myanmar, 1♀, 1♂ paratypes from Laos (UZMH)): Datta & Parui 1999: 31 (a Meghalaya specimen misidentified as E. subnotata, H.R. Feijen View in CoL identified the same specimen as E. brevispinus View in CoL during his visit to NZSI in 1999); Mitra et al. 2015: 60 (again the same Meghalaya specimen, now as E. brevispinus View in CoL ).

Distribution: India (Meghalaya), Myanmar, Laos.

Remarks: Indian Eurydiopsis have several times been referred to E. subnotata (Westwood, 1848) , but Feijen (1999) questioned these identifications and indicated E. subnotata as a species from the south-eastern islands of the Philippines. Brunetti (1907: 164) recorded “ E. subnotata ” from Asom. Datta and Biswas (1985: 220) recorded the same Asom specimens to E. subnotata . During the present study, a pair of E. brevispinus ( Fig. 10) was examined from Meghalaya, Nongpoh Forest, 7.xi.2002, A. Freidberg (SMNHTAU).
