Phaenochilus indicus Miyatake 1970 Phaenochilus indicus Miyatake 1970b: 113 (original description; morphological details and male genitalia figured). Type material: Holotype , male ( EUCJ ). Type locality: “ Chinchona , Anamalai Hills , 1,050 m ( 3,500 ft. ), Madras State , South India .” Remarks: Three other congeners possess immaculate yellow to reddish orange or ferrugineus elytra, but this is the only species of that appearance known to occur in India . It also differs from the similarly colored species in possessing a more compact antennal club with the last antennomere not much longer than wide ( Fig. 19 ). The male genitalia ( Fig. 10 ) and morphological details illustrated by Miyatake (1970b) suggest a close relationship to the melanic P. flaviceps ( Fig. 9 ), also described from Madras State.
