Sphyracephala bipunctipennis Senior-White 1922

Sphyracephala bipunctipennis Senior-White, 1922 Figs 107, 108, 109, 110–112, 142–146, 147–150, Tables 2, 3, 4 Teleopsis bipunctipennis Senior-White, 1922: 165, pl. 13, fig. 1. Descamps 1957: 19; Steyskal 1972: 11. Pseudodiopsis bipunctipennis (Senior-White): Shillito 1940: 150. Steyskal 1977: 35. Sphyracephala bipunctipennis (Senior-White): Feijen 1989: 67. Feijen 1998: 50; Meier and Hilger 2000: 4 (specimens from Thailand, unlikely to be S. bipunctipennis); Baker et al. 2001: 93, fig. 1 (specimens from Malaysia, unlikely to be S. bipunctipennis); Meier and Baker 2002: 334 (specimens from Malaysia, unlikely to be S. bipunctipennis); Feijen and Feijen 2019: 39; Jackson 2019: suppl. fig. 1 (specimens from Malaysia, unlikely to be S. bipunctipennis). Type series. Sri Lanka: holotype ♂, Ceylon, Indiganga [on label], on plant growing in the water at edge of the Suduganga river, on leaves of Liliacrans plant [on labels], 10.viii.1919 [~ 7°29'22"N, 80°39'46"E, ~ 380 m] (NHMUK). Paratypes: 7 ♀, 4 ♂, same data as holotype (NHMUK). Senior-White mentioned in description “ Type, allo-type, and ten co-types ”. Distribution. Sri Lanka, India (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu),? Bhutan. Specimens from Bhutan still require confirmation. Illustrations. Senior-White (1922) gave a schematic drawing of the wing. Meier and Hilger (2000: figs 12–17, 115, 116, 118) presented photographs of the egg, but these are unlikely to represent S. bipunctipennis. Feijen and Feijen (2019) gave photographs of habitus and head. Life photographs are available (e. g., https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/53700018 © Amila P. Sumanapala). Here, photographs (Figs 142 – 150) of habitus, head, thorax, wing, fore femur, and abdomen are presented.
