Extract

Green (in Stebbing, 1902) described a species collected by Stebbing at Dehra Dun in 1899 as Monophlebus stebbingi. The principal diagnostic character of this species was the presence of six fleshy tassels at the caudal extremity of the male (fig. 1, a). Green (in Stebbing, 1903) proposed the name Monophlebus stebbingi var. mangiferae for a form found on mango in the Shalimar Gardens near Lahore in which the adult male carried eight fleshy caudal tassels. Later (1908) he described material from the Shalimar Gardens on mango as Monophlebus stebbingi var. octocaudata.
