Type locality: India (Assam, Bihar, Meghalaya), Pakistan ( Punjab ). Nothochrysa lefroi Needham, 1909 . Ghosh, 1990: 351 (misspelling). Diagnosis and notes Italochrysa lefroyi ( Fig. 11 ) is hitherto only known from India and Pakistan ( Needham 1909 ). Ghosh & Sen (1977) , Brooks & Barnard (1990) , and Ghosh (1990 , 2000 ) listed a record of this species from India . Its Pakistani record is missing in Hassan et al. (2019) . Taxonomically this species is remarkably similar to I. aequalis and the only differences between these two species are in the coloration of legs (a character too weak to sustain the species): wholly yellowish brown in I. lefroyi ( Fig. 11A ), but unfortunately, the mid and hind legs are missing in the paratypes of I. lefroyi for comparison with I. aequalis , in which dark bands are present on each femur. However, this difference may be of individual variation. Thus, the taxonomic status of this species should be clarified either based on type specimen or newly collected materials from the type localities in Pakistan or India . Distribution Pakistan . Punjab (Faisalabad), –– India (Assam, Bihar, Meghalaya, Punjab ) ( Needham 1909 ; Ghosh & Sen 1977 ; Brooks & Barnard 1990 ; Ghosh 1990 , 2000 ; Oswald 2022).
