Notes: The study showed that both species are distinct in several characters. Though, both species belong to section Oligocista , they are not morphologically similar to each other (Janarthanam & Henry, 1992). They are sympatric, having same phenological pattern but easily distinguishable in the field. The main distinguishing characters are given in Table 1. Photographs of both the species are provided here for easy identification ( Fig. 1).
