FE0F793F0B649F58FF10FBE65D2CFE55.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species is closely related to R. parallela Yan et Wang, 2006, in having more or less similar LR, equal number of dorsocentrals and parallel-sided anal point but differs in the shape of superior volsella (digitiform in C. parallela while it is bilobed in the new species), number of setae on anal point (12 weak setae in C. parallela while 6 weak setae in new one), squamal setae (5 in C. parallela while 13 in new one) and R vein (3 in C. parallela while 1 in new one). Robackia pilicauda Saether, 1977 has a distally swollen superior volsella and nearly parallel-sided anal point, but the combination of characters such as the presence of setae on the inner part of bilobed superior volsella, absence of strong setae on tergite IX, reduced number of seta (e) on R vein and numerous setae on squama can easily distinguish the new species from R. pilicauda.	en	Mukherjee, Bindarika, Hazra, Niladri (2022): First records of three genera, Cyphomella Saether, 1977, Olecryptotendipes Zorina, 2007 and Robackia Saether, 1977 of the Harnischia complex from India with description of O. extentus sp. n., O. obtunsus sp. n. and R. aequilongia sp. n.

FE0F793F0B629F52FF10FB215DE0FBB1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. After careful examination of the specimens, it fully corroborates with C. camelus with the following combination of characters: presence of two tubercles on mesonotum and dark marking on abdomen and thorax. A frontal tubercle is present on the Indian specimen while it is absent in the specimen from Egypt, Sudan (Freeman, 1957). DNA barcoding of the specimen has been done for the first time.	en	Mukherjee, Bindarika, Hazra, Niladri (2022): First records of three genera, Cyphomella Saether, 1977, Olecryptotendipes Zorina, 2007 and Robackia Saether, 1977 of the Harnischia complex from India with description of O. extentus sp. n., O. obtunsus sp. n. and R. aequilongia sp. n.
