Remarks : Ghosh (1990) described this species under subgenus Anisochrysa of genus Chrysopa Leach from Himachal Pradesh. The erection of genus Mallada by Hölzel (1970), Adams (1975) and Brooks and Barnard (1990) from subgenus Anisochrysa obviously indicate the inclusion of this species under Mallada. It may be noted that the species shows its distribution in a new locality in the study area.
