Abstract

This paper deals with the diversity of the genus Chimarra Stephens, 1829 collected by the light trap from Suntalekhola Biodiversity Camp. Seven species of the genus Chimarra, viz. C. biungulata Kimmins, 1964, C. fenestrata Kimmins, 1964, C. nigra Kimmins, 1964, C. nepalensis Kimmins, 1964, C. sikkimensis Pandher & Saini, 2012, C. rifati Pandher & Saini, 2012 and C. aberrans Martynov, 1935 are recorded from this single locality in one night light trap collection. Further, presently reported C. nepalensis and C. fenestrata form its first record from India and West Bengal as well. Apart from that, C. nigra, C. rifati and C. sikkimensis constitute first state records for West Bengal. We also consider C. dibangensis Pandher & Saini, 2013 and C. reyangensis Ghosh & Chaudhury, 1999 as synonyms of C. biungulata Kimmins, 1964 on the basis of resemblance of the male genitalia examined during this study.
