Alticola montosa (True, 1894) . Proc. U. S. Natl. Mus., 17:11.

TYPE LOCALITY: India, central Kashmir, 11,000 ft .

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from Kashmir, 8000 to 13,000 ft (Hinton, 1926).

SYNONYMS: imitator .

COMMENTS: Subgenus Alticola . Usually incorporated in A. roylei (Corbet, 1978c; Gromov and Polyakov, 1977), but the diagnostic traits of montosa clearly distinguish it from the geographically adjacent roylei, as Hinton (1926) long ago noted.
