DESCRIPTION

The syntypes of Sitana deccanensis have been rediscovered, misplaced among the syntypes of Sitana minor at the Natural History Museum (London) and the former taxon is here recognised as a valid species and redescribed. The Sitana populations which are distributed in drier and warmer areas of the lower peneplain of Sri Lanka are sufficiently different from the known Indian species and are thus herein described as new species.
