  • Aspilocoryphus modestum Distant Aspilocoryphus modestus Distant, 1909: 320 Lygaeosoma modesta (Distant), Slater, 1964: 67 New placement: Hormopleurus modestus (Distant) comb. nov. Material examined. Syntype Ψ Aspilocoryphus modestum Distant, with the following labels: 1. Museum circular red-margined label with “ TYPE ” pr; 2. “ 109 ” hwr; 3. “ Bombay, Dixon” pr; 4. “Distant Coll. 1911 - 383 ” pr; 5. “ modestus type Dist.” hwr. Remarks. Originally described from an unspecified number of specimens from “ Bombay (Dixon).”. This species has a yellowish ground colour that is paler than in Lygaeosoma species and its connexivum is also pale. It is very close to Hormopleurus nysioides Horváth (1884) and perhaps identical with it, but its pubescence is a little shorter than that of the specimen of nysioides seen. Pending further investigation we place the species in Hormopleurus, but do not make the species synonymy.
