Comments: This species was originally known from northern India, later recorded from Xizang, China, and is here reported for the first time from Nepal. Males are easily recognizable based on the unique forms of the antennal club and aedeagus (see Yin & Li 2015; Huang et al., 2018). The populations of Nepal show little variation in all diagnostic features, and thus can be easily identified.

Distribution: China: Xizang; India: Uttarakhand; Nepal: Bagmati, Koshi (New County Record).
