Notes
Authority:
Matsumura 1917
; Unlikely to be from India: Incorrectly listed in India and Burma by
Schumacher (1915)
. According to
Metcalf (1963)
, Schumacher referred to a specimen misidentified as
Pycna repanda
(actually
Platypleura takasagona
) and likely stated the locality information associated with
P. repanda
and not
P. takasagona
.
