Gangara thyrsis hainana

Sonan (1930a)
specified “one mall[e]” when he described
Gangara thyrsis hainana
, thus it represents the
holotype
of the taxon. This
holotype
was found in TARI (
Fig. 31–33
).
Evans (1949)
listed
hainana
as a synonym of
Gangara thyrsis thyrsis
(Fabricius, 1775)
.
Gangara thyrsis
is widespread from the Himalayas across
India
and Sundaland to the
Philippines
and Sulawesi with weak geographical differentiation (
Evans 1949
), and we follow Evans’ treatment. The name
hainana
Sonan, 1930 is regarded as a junior subjective synonym of
Gangara thyrsis thyrsis
(Fabricius, 1775)
in the present study.
