03845B29FF89FFF6FFB2AD3DFCFCED89.taxon	discussion	Remarks: This species externally resembles Scaphoideus inequalis Viraktamath & Mohan and other species of the Scaphoideus albovittatus group (Chen et al. 2015) in having a conspicuous white band extended along the midline of the body from the head to the resting forewings. S. banjarensis is the largest species of the genus occurring in India.

03845B29FF8EFFF4FFB2ACAFFC18EBC8.taxon	discussion	Remarks: This species was re-described and illustrated by Vilbaste (1969) based on examination of Matsumura’s type specimen at Hokkaido University. Although the male genital characters of our specimens from India closely resemble the illustrations of Matsumura’s type from Taiwan given by Vilbaste, some differences are apparent (description of type from Vilbaste in parentheses): pygofer rounded distally, with process straight and pointed (pygofer obliquely truncate distally with process curved and blunt tipped); apex of style more arcute (truncate); aedeagus in lateral view strongly arcuate (more or less straight). Examination of additional specimens from throughout the range of this species are needed to determine whether the variation noted here is discontinuous and may indicate that the Indian population represents a distinct species.	en	Rajgopal, N.
