Comment
: The original description of
L. calcaratum
is based on a unique male from the Kali-Gandaki valley (
ASSING 2012
). The distance between the above records from West
Nepal
and the type locality (
Map 2
) suggests that the
holotype
is mislabelled. Himalayan
Lathrobium
species
generally have highly restricted distributions. The collector of the
holotype
, the late Herbert Franz, conducted a field trip to Jumla District and to the Kali-
Gandaki
valley in the same year.
