Endoclita similis C. & R. Felder, 1874

Species/Subspecies

Endoclita aboe Moore, [1860] (Phassus)

Type Locality

Darjeeling [India, West Bengal]

Remarks

Grehan et al. (2022) mentioned distribution of E. aboe from Sikkim. But Moore ([1860]) in his catalogue described the species from Darjeeling which was previously under Sikkim but presently is a part of West Bengal. Ueda (2000) also clarified about the presence of eight males and two females preserved in BMNH from Darjeeling only. So, we conclude that E. aboe is, so far, reported from West Bengal only.
