Brueelia punjabensis ( Ansari), 1947 ; Hopkins & Clay, 1952 : 60 . Type host. Psilopogon virens marshallorum Swinhoe, 1870 —great barbet. Type locality. Kulu , Punjab , India . Other host. Psilopogon virens virens (Boddaert, 1783) —great barbet. Description. Head shape, structure, and chaetotaxy as in genus description and Fig. 265 . Displaced section of marginal carina not widened. Coni long and slender, reaching to distal margin of scapes. Preocular nodi large, quadratic. Postocular nodi large, rounded; pos located immediately posterior to eye. Thoracic and abdominal segments as in genus description and Figs 263–264 . Pleural incrassations extensive, lateral to spiracle openings. Male . Abdominal chaetotaxy as in Table 7 and Fig. 263 ; aps present on segments V–VII. Basal apodeme constricted at mid-length ( Fig. 266 ), much wider proximally than distally. Proximal mesosome broad, anterior margin convergent. Gonopore ( Fig. 267 ) closed distally, terminal, with rugose proximal margin. Mesosomal lobes small, angular; 2 pmes microsetae on distal margin of lobes. Parameral heads ( Fig. 268 ) roughly quadratic. Parameral blades short, lobe-like, blunt; pst1–2 as in genus description. Measurements ex Psilopogon virens marshallorum (n = 8): TL = 1.51–1.70; HL = 0.42–0.45; HW = 0.44–0.47; PRW = 0.27–0.30; PTW = 0.39–0.42; AW = 0.54–0.63. Female . Abdominal chaetotaxy as in Table 7 and Fig. 264 . Subgenital plate roughly trapezoidal, with wide median section reaching vulval margin ( Fig. 269 ). Vulval margin ( Fig. 269 ) bulging medianly, with 3–4 short, slender vms on each side, and 4–6 short, thorn-like vss on each side; 4–5 short, slender vos ; distal vos median to vss .
