Remarks
No records from South India exist, and the standing of specimens south of Brahmaputra was discussed in detail by Nässig et al. (2010). Therefore, records from outside Himalaya to South India (Devi et al. 2011; Gogoi et al. 2014; Chandra et al. 2019; Shah et al. 2018; Joshi et al. 2021) may be due to misidentification and require further assessment.
