Thaumatographa
SS: Thaumatographa Walsingham, 1897 species known from India (Pathania et al 2020).
Thaumatographa calathisca (Meyrick, 1909)
Thaumatographa ceramopa (Meyrick, 1920)
Thaumatographa citharistis (Meyrick, 1909)
Thaumatographa mechanica (Meyrick, 1909)
Thaumatographa merinthias (Meyrick, 1909)
All these species with TL in Meghalaya and none in S. India. Not certain about generic placement.
JR: It seems that Pathania et al., 2020 overlooked the work by Razowski, 2009 where he provided a complete checklist as well as described a new species from Castle Rock, Bombay, India.
For generic placement: I would like to follow Razowski, 2009 who supporting Meyrick, synonymized genus Thaumatographa as well as Idiothauma within genus Hilarographa. This genus is also distributed in Sri Lanka.
Updated checklist from India:
H. ceramopa Meyrick, 1920, Assam, India
H. calathisca Meyrick, 1909, Assam, India
H. mechanica Meyrick, 1909, Assam, India
H. ancilla Razowski, 2009., Bombay, India
H. merinthias Meyrick, 1909, Assam, India
H. druidica (Meyrick, 1909), Assam, India.
H. citharistis Meyrick, 1909, Assam, India
From Sri Lanka:
H. caminodes Meyrick, 1905, Sri Lanka
H. hermatodes Meyrick, 1909, Sri Lanka
SS: Based on above notes I will be publishing this as Hilarographa Zeller, 1877 at the genus level.
