Abstract

A new species of the genus Synonychimorpha Miyatake (Synonychimorpha immaculata sp. nov.) is described from south India. Sticholotis chittagongi Vazirani is transferred to Synonychimorpha and Sticholotis rufolimbata Canepari is proposed as a new junior synonym. A key to the known species of the genus is given.
