Jilinga gopii (Pruthi) comb. nov. Material examined. See Remarks below. Remarks. Described from the holotype and allotype from: Kuldanna (7,006 ft.) Murree hills, Punjab, H.S. Pruthi (ZSI). Although the types have not been examined a series of specimen in the BMNH from India match Pruthi’s figures and serve to place the species in Jilinga Ghauri. It is similar to the only other species of the genus, J. darjilingensis (Distant) in the shape of the aedeagus (not shown in Pruthi’s figure), but differs in having a differently shaped dorsal connective (referred to as the preatrium by Ghauri, 1974) and a much wider style apical process (paraphysis). Psammotettix emarginata Singh (Plate 2, f; Figs 18, 19) Psammotettix swatensis Ahmed. Syn. nov. Psammotettix quettensis Ara & Ahmed. Syn. nov. Material examined. Pakistan: holotype 3, and 1 paratype of P. swatensis (ZMUK), Swat, 12.v.1985, Shahid, sugar beet; several specimens (3, Ƥ), Sindh Prov., Tando Jam, 12.xi.07, on lufa guord. Remarks. Specimens were compared to the figures of Indian material given by Singh (1969, figs 51–55). This species was recorded by Ghauri (1964) from Pakistan as P. provincialis Ribaut, but in the latter species the aedeagal shaft has straighter margins in lateral view (compare Figs 19 b, d). There is some variation in the head markings and a few specimens examined (see Plate 2, f) have faint longitudinal bands on the pronotum as in the original figures of P. emarginata. It is possible that Psammotettix regularia Singh, from India, may also be this species. P. swatensis was described from a holotype male and one paratypes from: Swat, 12.v.1985, sugar beet, Shahid (ZMUK). P. quettensis was described from a holotype male and four paratypes from: Quetta, 24.vi.1987, wheat, Anjum (ZMUK); no type specimens could be found. Scaphytopiini Remarks. For a recent treatment of this tribe see Viraktamath & Murthy (1999).
