TW thinks clara is the type of the misspelling Landrevus. There are also errors in the old OSF. The type of Landreva isn't clara but insignis, by original monotypy. Kirby wanted to designate clara as type with insignis as synonym. This affects also Jareta and Landrevus (Ectolandrevus).

Fixed. The three names clara, insignis and pictus are based on specimens from Sri Lanka. So Jareta sedlaceki from the Malay Peninsula is probably not a synonym of insignis and Jareta can remain valid.
