Type species: Suhpalacsa difformis McLachlan, 1871: 257 . Original designation. Diagnosis. Suphalomitus is similar to Suhpalacsa in general darker body coloration, the weak triangular projection on the anal area of forewing and the apical area beyond Sc+R with two rows of cells. It can be distinguished from Suhpalacsa in having a longer pterostigma, which is about twice as long as wide ( Figs 20E–H ), the width of the hind wing slightly shorter or equal to width of forewing, and the length of hind wing relatively short, not extending beyond pterostigma in forewing ( Figs 19A–B ) ( Ghosh 1988 ; New 2003 ; Ábrahám 2008a ). Note. Suphalomitus currently includes 19 described species, distributed in the Palearctic, Afrotropical, Oriental and Australian realms ( Machado et al. 2019 ). It currently includes a single species, S. brevis Kimmins in Pakistan .
