Introduction Zolotarewskya Risbec, a rare genus of to Australia) except for an undescribed subfamily Cleonyminae was described species reported from Hawaii (Gibson, from Madagascar with Z. seyrigi Risbec as 2003). Mani et al. (1973) reported the genus type species (Risbec, 1955). The genus is from India describing a new species with currently known by eight described species the name Chalcedectus indicus based on and a few undescribed species worldwide, male and female types collected from out of which two are reported from the Dehradun. Bouček et al. (1979) synonymized Oriental region viz. Z. indica (Mani & Kaul) this species under Zolotarewskya and also from India and Z. lyra (Girault) from reestablished the validity of the genus. Singapore (Gibson, 2003). Bouček (1976) Zolotarewskya is reported here from India synonymized Zolotarewskya under after a gap of 45 years by describing a Systolomorphella Girault. The genus is very new species from a specimen collected close to Cleonymus Latrielle and is believed from the southern Western Ghats. The to have an Old World origin (probably in discovery of the genus form southern Africa and later spread into south-east Asia Western Ghats is interesting, since the Corresponding author: Pavittu Meethal Sureshan, E-mail: [email protected] Copyright © 2018, Sureshan et al.
