Abstract

The genus Xenortholitha Inoue, 1944 is mainly distributed in the Sino-Japanese and Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). The current communication reports the first distributional record of Xenortholitha falcata Yazaki, 1993 from western Himalaya, India extending its range far westwards from its previously known range in Eastern Nepal. We provide a brief differential diagnosis of the species along with its habitus and male genitalia illustrations.
