Comment: Since this species was previously known only from the environs of Pokhara, it was assumed to be endemic to the Annapurna range (
ASSING 2012a
). However, the above record and the discovery of two similar micropterous species in the Annapurna range suggest that
R. quadridentatus
is actually endemic to the
Dhaulagiri region
. The distinctive male sternite VII is illustrated in
