Diagnosis and notes
Based on comparison with the
holotype
of
Chrysopa cymbele
Banks,
Nasir (1947)
furthermore described two varieties based on the presence or absence of distinct bands along the epistomal suture and lateral margins of clypeus, viz.,
Chrysopa cymbele
var.
afasciata
Nasir
(without band: fig. 3) and
Chrysopa cymbele
var.
fasciata
Nasir
(band only limited to the lateral margins of clypeus: fig. 4), now both are synonyms of
Chrysopa cymbele
Banks. We
excluded this species in the present key, as it is hard to differentiate
C. cymbele
based on the original descriptions. Neither
Banks (1933)
nor
Nasir (1947)
provided any information about the utmost important characters of the male genitalia or any information about the pretarsal claws for the species delimitation. No additional specimens were added in this study.
