Nepaletricha mystica Chandler, 2002: 122 .

Discussion. N. mystica was described from Nepal on the holotype male only (in MNHN) and has not been reported since. The species is very similar to N. furcata and it agrees in most respects with the description of that species given here. The distinguishing characters are discussed under N. furcata . In addition to the characters described by Chandler (2002) it can be added that the antenna has flagellomere 14 with the constricted distal part as figured here for N. furcata , that the slender apical palpomere 5 is only a little longer than palpomere 4 (about 1.3 x its length) and that vein A1 bears short setae.
