Type Species
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.
