The flower fly genus Citrogramma Vockeroth (Diptera: Syrphidae): illustrated revision with descriptions of new species Author Mengual, Ximo text Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 2012 2012-01-17 164 1 99 172 http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1096-3642.2011.00750.x journal article 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2011.00750.x 0024-4082 5406153 XANTHOGRAMMA PRUTHII DEORAS, 1942 Deoras (1943) described a new species of Xanthogramma from the Delhi area ( India ), named X. pruthii . This species was reared from eggs found amongst groups of Myzus persicae (Sulzer, 1776) and adults have terga 2 to 4 each with two lateral curved yellow maculae. This species was mentioned again from New Delhi and adjoining areas by Anand, Rai & Sharma (1967) and Anand (1986) . They also reported another species of this genus, as Xanthogramma sp. , feeding on Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach, 1843) and Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris, 1776) ( Hemiptera , Aphididae ). Deoras also related his new species to C. citrinum , at that time the only ‘ Xanthogramma ’ species described from India . Ghorpadé (unpubl. data) examined the type material at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute ( IARI , New Delhi ) and found it to be Scaeva latimaculata ( Brunetti, 1923 ) . Similarly, other such mistaken identities were published for ‘ Xanthogramma sp. ’ by Rao (1969) , Gokulpure (1972) , Habib (1973) , Rai (1976) , Das & Raychaudhuri (1983) , Agarwala, Dutta & Raychaudhuri (1983) , Agarwala, Láska & Raychaudhuri (1984) , Anand (1986) , and Aslamkhan, Safdar & Azizullah (1997) from central and northern India , and Pakistan , which are probably misidentifications for either S. latimaculata or Allograpta javana (Wiedemann, 1824) (K. Ghorpadé pers. comm.).
