( Figures 2A , 3C , 4K ) urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: A41E77D3-FA11-4CCE-9E7F-3A2C149875CB Type material Holotype : Female , with label data “N Pakistan , NW Frontier Prov. , Kaghan Valley , 2500–3500 m , Naran SE env ., 26–27.VII.1998 , leg. Kalab ” ( cSCI ). Etymology The epithet is derived from the Latin adjective mirabilis (= admirable) and indicates the exceptional nature of some features of this species. Description Habitus see Figure 2A . Body length: 13.6 mm . Head: Vertex with transverse impression deep in middle, shallow on sides ( Figure 3C ). Antennae remarkably long with ninth antennomere extended to pronotal base ( Figure 2A ); PL / A3L 4.0. Pronotum: PW / HW 1.13; PW / PL 1.06; PW / PBW 1.57; PAW / PBW 1.17. Lateral margin with three setae each side in apical half. Elytra: EW 4.95 mm ; EL / EW 1.61; EW / PW 1.60. Abdomen: Last abdominal sternite apically with two setae each side (female!). Legs: Tarsomere 5 on ventral side usually with one pair of setae behind middle, however, on left hind leg an additional ventral seta is situated in middle of tarsomere 5.

Geographical distribution Northwest Himalaya of Pakistan , Azad Jammu and Kashmir ( Figure 7 ): probably endemic to the higher parts of the Kaghan Valley. Habitat Unknown.
