Polymerus rugulus Carvalho, 1959: 239 . Up to this point only the holotype of this species was collected. Now the holotype is presumed lost in BMNH. Characters of colouration listed in the original description does not allow unequivocal placement of this species in any genus considered in current paper. P . rugulus was described on the same page as P . aureus Ballard, 1927 transferred into Charagochilus below. Most likely P . rugulus also belongs to this genus. The absence of recognised species of Polymerus outside of the Palaearctic Region of the Eastern Hemisphere can be taken as evidence that this species to belongs in Charagochilus . Distribution : India (Kollur Ghat; South Kanara, Nagodi). FIGURE 16 . Inner female genitalia of Polymerus species. A , B , Polymerus holosericeus ; C , D , P . pekinensis ; E , F , P . amurensis .
