Distribution.

Fig. 60 . The nominotypic subspecies of Chydaeus andrewesi was known previously from the eastern part of the Himalaya, from Central Nepal to Bhutan and Myanmar, at elevations of 1600-2700 m ( Kataev and Schmidt 2006). Based on the new records presented here, this subspecies ranges farther east into western Yunnan Province, China, along the Myanmar border (the Gaoligong Shan in Fugong, Gongshan, Longyang, Lushui, and Tengchong counties, and the Bangma Shan and Ailao Shan (Mountains), at elevations of 1200-2720 m. This subspecies is also recorded here from the southern part of Xizang Autonomous Region.

Habitat.

Specimens were collected in roadside and road cut open areas ( Figs 68 , 72 ), on open, disturbed stream banks, and in other disturbed areas ( Figs 69 -70 ), hidden under stones and other debris during daylight hours and active on the soil surface at night.

Remarks.

This is the first record of Chydaeus andrewesi andrewesi from China. There are no significant morphological differences between the specimens from China and those from the areas in the western part of its geographical range; however, specimens from Yunnan have the elytral microsculpture more fully effaced than specimens from the Himalaya.
