Remarks : Ghosh (1985) described this species under genus Chrysopidia Navás from Western Himalaya. The present author colleced the male specimen of the species from Western Himalaya. A redescription of the species based on male specimen has been provided here. Though the fore wing has three gradate series but the presence of gonapsis, which is absent in genus Chrysopidia Navás and Chrysoperla Steinmann (Brooks and Barnard,1990) prevents the inclusion of the species in the above genera. The present author included it under genus Mallada Navás due to the presence of arcuate tignum, arcessus and gonapsis.
