Abstract:

The genus Allophleps is redefined based on the specimen from Africa. The Indian species assigned to this genus are transferred to the genus Deltocephalus which is redefined along with a key to the Indian species. The following new combinations are proposed: Deltocephalus indicus (Pruthi) and D. menoni (Rao and Ramakrishnan). Allophleps delhiensis Rao and Ramakrishnan is treated as a major synonym of D. indicus.
