Hyleoglomeris “electa” ( Silvestri, 1917 ) Non Apiomeris ( Hyleoglomeris ) electa Silvestri, 1917: 119 (D). Hyleoglomeris electa — Attems, 1953: 158 (R); Golovatch et al ., 2006: 890 (D). Records from Laos : Champasak Province , Bolaven Plateau; Xiang Khouang Province , Xieng Khouang ( Attems 1953 ) . Remarks . Initially, this species was described from the female holotype taken at Ghumti, Darjeeling District, India ( Silvestri 1917 ), later redescribed from both sexes and recorded in Vietnam : Lam Dong , Dalat, Langbian Moutain, 2,300 –2,400 m asl. ( Attems 1938 ), also reported from Laos ( Attems 1953 ). Hardly surprisingly, there are serious doubts as regards the conspecificity of material of H. electa from the Himalayas and Indochina ( Golovatch 1987 ; Golovatch et al . 2006 ), the latter species in the sense of Attems (1938) likely being just a junior synonym of H. robusta Attems, 1938 (Golovatch et al . 2013). Therefore quotation marks are applied.
