Size: 19–35 mm.

Flying period previously recorded for the species: March–May.

Studied material: 9 males, 6 females, India: Mizoram / Lawnglai Dist. / Ngengpuikai vill. / Ngeng Pui N. R. / 120–350 m / 20.IV-9. V.2017 / Stanislav Jákl leg.

Distribution: Bangladesh, India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Mizoram [new state record], Sikkim, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal), Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan.

Comments: Komiya & Drumont (2010) revised the genus Nepiodes Pascoe, 1867 , which currently comprises seven species and four subspecies. Nepiodes bowringi occurs in the Himalaya region and northern India from Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Sikkim, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal states ( Komiya & Drumont 2010; Kariyanna et al. 2017). The recent collection of specimens in the Mizoram State expands its geographic range to eastern India.
