Remarks.
The specimen from ZMUC bears the identification label ‘
Formicomus apoderinus
’ by Telnov. This species was described by
WASMANN (1898)
from a single, probably female specimen collected in the Indian state of
Gujarat
. As I already mentioned (
KEJVAL 1999
), it may be identical with
Anthelephila praetor parvicollis
. However, its true identity has never been revised and remains uncertain.
