Type species: Ascalaphus obscurus Westwood, 1847: 69 . Original designation. Junior homonym of Stylonotus Olfers, 1907 –– Collembola –– recognized by Oswald & Penny (1991) . Stylascalaphus Sziráki, 1998: 65 . New name for Stylonotus Needham, 1909 by Sziráki (1998) . Diagnosis. Stylascalaphus can be easily distinguished by the anal area of forewing being without a triangular projection, the apical area beyond Sc+R with two rows of cells, the presence of a unique dorsal process at the distal margin of male abdominal tergum 3 and the antenna as long as the distance between base of forewing to pterostigma ( Needham 1909 : fig. 2; Mészáros & Ábrahám 2005 : figs 1–2, 5). Note. Needham (1909) erected Stylonotus based on a single species, Stylascalaphus obscurus (Westwood, 1848) from East India that was previously described from a single female specimen. Latter Sziráki (1998) proposed a new name, Stylascalaphus Sziráki for Stylonotus Needham due to a junior homonym of Stylonotus Olfers, 1907 (Collembola) noted by Oswald and Penny (1991) . Currently, Stylascalaphus includes two species, i.e., S. obscurus (Westwood, 1848) from East India , and S. fabiani Mészáros & Ábrahám, 2005 which is endemic to Pakistan ( Mészáros & Ábrahám 2005 ).
