Notes (optional)
PS: Cyana sp.
SS: Cyana moelleri (Elwes, 1890)
Cyana watsoni or Cyana moelleri. Needs further investigation. Based on Singh et al 2020, Cyana watsoni or Cyana moelleri cannot be separated based on external morphology, and genitalia needs examination. Hwoever, based on distribution, watsoni is the NE India species, while moelleri is the E. Himalayan species; hence this can be provisionally identified as Cyana moelleri (Elwes, 1890) (Singh et al 2020), pg. 31, Fig. 80-83.
