Sculpture of suprahumeral area of pronotum: puncticulate. Sculpture in lower pronotum: reticulate to weakly rugulose. Netrion setation: sparsely setose to glabrous. Mesopleural carina: present dorsally, interrupted or absent ventrally. Mesepimeral sulcus: complete or briefly interrupted, foveate above, appearing as fold ventrally.

Wings: Female fore wing maculation: hyaline or with slight infuscation below marginal vein. 82. http://www.morphbank.net/?id=226373 FIGURES 145–150. 83 Fusicornia tehrii Mukerjee , female (OSUC 149008). 145, Dorsal habitus; 146, Lateral habitus; 147, Head and mesosoma, dorsal view; 148, Head and mesosoma, lateral view; 149, Head, anterior view; 150, Mesoscutellum and metanotal spine dorsal view. Scale bars in millimeters. Metasoma: Length of T1: less than or equal to one times width. Horn on T1 of female: absent, T1 longitudinally furrowed throughout length. Lateral setation of T1: sparsely to moderately setose (6–15/side). Medial sculpture on T3: smooth and shiny. 83. http://www.morphbank.net/?id=226373 Diagnosis. The smooth or with shallowly impressed reticulate microsculpture on the central portion of the frons distinguishes Fusicornia tehrii from the cohort of the species from Asia, F. koreica , F. indica , and F. episcopus . This species is also immediately distinguished by the very short lateral metanotal spine and the almost entirely smooth mesoscutellum ( Figs. 147–150 ).

Comments : F. tehrii was originally described by Mukerjee (1993) on the basis of a single male specimen from Narendra Nagar (Tehri), India . Subsequently, Buhl (1998) described F. noonae from the Philippines , also on the basis of a single male specimen ( Figs. 150–154 ). The characters of F. noonae presented by Buhl (1998) are identical to the description of F. tehrii . These characters comprise the smooth sculpture of the central frons, sparse setation of the gena, the smooth and shining sculpture of the scutellum, and smooth and shining sculpture on T3 ( Figs. 147–150 ). Buhl (1998) compared his species with F.indica , F.bambeyi , and F. spinosa , presumably on the basis of the literature. No mention was made of F. tehrii . Dr. Rajmohana K. (Zoological Survey of India , Calicut ) kindly examined the holotype of F. tehrii and compared it with the species concepts developed in this paper.
