MOTSCHULSKY 1863
;
BONADONA 1986
;
KEJVAL 1998
;
TELNOV 1998
,
2001
;
UHMANN 1983
). Records from
India
(
Madhya Pradesh
) and
Sri Lanka
(Medavachiya) by
UHMANN (1983)
are based on misidentified specimens of
E. castelsi
; the respective specimens were listed under this species by
KEJVAL (1998)
.
Remarks.
The possible synonymy of
E. ceylonica
and
E. nana
was already discussed in my previous paper (
KEJVAL 1998
). It is now confirmed by the examination of the
syntypes
of the former species.
