TYPE LOCALITY: India , central Kashmir, 11,000 ft . DISTRIBUTION: Known only from Kashmir, 8000 to 13,000 ft (Hinton, 1926). SYNONYMS: imitator . COMMENTS: Subgenus Alticola . Usually incorporated in A. roylei ( Corbet, 1978c ; Gromov and Polyakov, 1977 ), but the diagnostic traits of montosa clearly distinguish it from the geographically adjacent roylei , as Hinton (1926) long ago noted.
