Holotype: 1♂, INDIA: Maharashtra: Pune District: Sivajinagar, Agricultural College, 8.II.1962, K.A. Koshid . Paratypes: 4♂, 1♀, Maharashtra: Pune District: Sivajinagar, Agricultural College, 8.II.1962, K.A. Koshid. (Lat.: 18.535240 ˚, Long.: 73.843415 ˚).</p><p>Distribution. INDIA: Maharashtra (Fig. 23).</p><p>Etymology. Named after its ivory median line extending from the head to the pronotum and scutellum.</p><p>Remarks. Physomerus centralis sp. nov. is similar to P. grossipes (Fabricius) in that they both have the head wider than long, antennae with second segment longest, fourth segment shorter than third, rostrum longer, reaching the mesocoxae, third segment shortest, first segment longer than second and fourth, pronotum wider than long with posterior margin in front of scutellum truncate, scutellum about as long as broad; wing membrane not extending beyond abdomen, legs pubescent with spines, hind femora strongly incrassated, obtusely spinous beneath. P. grossipes was studied and redescribed from specimens collected from Nasik road near Dada Saheb Phalke Smarak, Maharashtra (Hassan et al., 2016). However P. centralis sp. nov. can be easily separated from P. grossipes (Fabricius) by following diagnostic characteristics as in Table 2.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F6DA2FFFF3FFA936CEF8AFFCD4FDAA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
