MON Pl. 53/10, 11 for male and female.
Lepindex states Plecoptera oculata is the junior synonym of Plecoptera flava Bremer & Grey, 1853. But MOT/MON/iNat lists oculata as valid taxon.
Numerous other published observations on MOI are also this species.

I think the records from India on iNat are Plecoptera oculata male.

GI: Is there some timeline/source given when MON/MOT claims oculata as a valid taxon? If not its best to go by Lepindex's records, isn't it?
Some of the published observations on MOI are indeed Plecoptera flava/oculata
Perhaps a note on this matter (junior synonym or not) can be recorded on the species when this is published.
Agree tentatively that it is Plecoptera oculata
SS: Both MON and MOT supported their work with dissections, so I think their work can be treated as valid. Lepindex is quite old data. Uploading more oculata females/males.
