Mecopoda elongata

Mecopoda elongata group We use the name Mecopoda elongata group despite some uncertainties about the identity of M. elongata itself, since all Indian and thus topotypical Mecopoda species possess the characteristic pretzel-shaped mirror on the right male tegmen (Nityananda & Balakrishnan 2006). For the subgroups we follow the structuring proposed by Liu et al. 2020 (niponensis, confracta, minor subgroups)
