Syntypes : ♂, ♀, Ceylon [= Sri Lanka ]: Puttalam and Anuradhapura; depository not stated. Type material examined. Lectotype (present designation): ♀, “ Ceylon / W. Horn”, “Anu- / radhapura”; mounted on card, segment IV of both antennae lacking ( DEIC ) ( Figs. 9–10 ). Paralectotype : “Puttalam / Ceylon Horn”; mounted on card, segments III–IV of left and segment IV of right antenna lacking (1 ♀, DEIC ). Remarks. According to the original description the syntype series included male(s) too, therefore it can be stated with certainty that a part of the specimens ( paralectotypes ) remains undiscovered. A. horni is a valid species distributed in southern India and in Sri Lanka . Its diagnostic characters were discussed and illustrated and a detailed description was presented by Scudder (1963) .
