Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from other Teloganopsis species by the following combination of characters: larva: (i) dorsal surface of body often with light, longitudinal, yellowish band formed by spots on head, pronotum, mesonotum and on abdominal terga V and VIII, but sometimes with only small spots on thorax and abdomen being presented, and therefore no obvious longitudinal band (Fig. 1A, B; fig. 1 in Tong & Dudgeon 2000); (ii) labrum, mandibles and labium without long hair-like setae (figs 5, 6, 9–11 in Tong & Dudgeon 2000); (iii) mandible canine not elongated (figs 9, 10 in Tong & Dudgeon 2000); (iv) inner margin of maxilla with a continuous row of setae (Fig. 1C; fig. 11 in Tong & Dudgeon 2000); (v) maxillary palp absent (Fig. 1C; fig. 11 in Tong & Dudgeon 2000); (vi) thorax without tubercles (fig. 1 in Tong & Dudgeon 2000); (vii) inner margins of fore tibia and fore tarsus without long hair-like setae; (viii) paired tergal projections absent; (ix) posterolateral projections of abdominal segments IV–IX strongly marked (Fig. 1A); (x) dorsal surface of forefemur with transversal row of long spatulate setae and with the same kind setae along outer margin of the femur (Fig. 1D; fig. 8 in Tong & Dudgeon 2000); (xi) caudal filaments light yellowish-brown with dark brown medial and apical bands (Fig. 1B; fig. 12 in Tong & Dudgeon 2000). Male imago: (xii) penis short, projection of penis small, not visible in ventral view (fig. 2 in Tong & Dudgeon 2000; fig. 8D in Zhang et al. 2017).
Distribution. China (Xu et al. 1984; Tong & Dudgeon 2000; Zhou et al. 2006), India and India-China border region (new data), and Thailand (Jacobus & McCafferty 2008, new data).
Remarks. This species originally was described based on adults from China (Xu et al. 1984). Zhou et al. (2006) provided revisions to this species, including the recognition of new junior synonyms. The larva of this species (as Serratella albostriata Tong & Dudgeon, 2000, junior synonym) was described and illustrated sufficiently by Tong & Dudgeon (2000); the male imago was illustrated by Xu et al. (1984) and Zhang et al. (2017: figs 8b, d). Our new data represent the first report of this species from India and the India-China border region, in particular. Ubero-Pascal & Sartori (2009) revised the genus, and additional contributions have been made by Jacobus (2009), Sartori (2014), Zhang et al. (2017) and Gorovaya (2019). Other Indomalayan species include Teloganopsis brocha (Kang & Yang, 1995), T. gracilis (Tshernova, 1952), T. media Ulmer, 1939, T. oriens Jacobus & McCafferty, 2006, T. puigae Ubero-Pascal & Sartori, 2009, and T. setosa Zhou (in Zhang et al.), 2017. Several potential new species remain undescribed.
