Remarks. Hygrodromicus coriaceus is widely distributed in the Himalayan Region, and known from Kashmir to Nepal. Shavrin (2024b) erroneosly provided Geodromicus palpalis Coiffait, 1977 as a member of the genus Asiageodromicus Shavrin, 2024 , and provided a new combination. This is an unfortunate mistake! In fact, G. palpalis belongs to the genus Hygrodromicus Tronquet, 1981 , which was established by me earlier ( Shavrin 2024c), and it was synonymized with H. coriaceus based on the study of the type and an additional material. It is here recorded from Pakistan for the first time.
