The validity of the classification of the species at present included in Phalacra 

 needs to be investigated. An examination of the type-species of Phalacropsis 

 Swinhoe (1895 : 5) and Pseuderosia Snellen (1889 : 15) has shown that these genera 

 have close affinities with Phalacra. 



The species of Phalacra are Indian, Chinese, Malaysian or Indonesian in distribu- 

 tion. Two species occur in China : strigata Warren (see below), and an undescribed 

 species from Kwantung represented by a single male in the Museum Koenig, Bonn.
