Name

• Euphyllura concolor Mathur, 1975
  • Authority for current placement: original
    • disputed by Taylor, 1987: 231 ('Mathur (1975) described Euphyllura caudata and E. concolor, indicating that he proposed to refer them to a new genus Loginoviana after related species had been studied. I have not seen these 2 species, but Mathur's detailed descriptions and figures of the adults and nymphs suggest that they should be placed in Ctenarytaina; they are certainly closely related to it, and both feed on Syzygium cumini (L) Skeels ( = Eugenia jumbolana Lam.), Myrtaceae')
