We have not examined any specimens of this species, since its description is newly published, and the species is restricted to its
type
locality in
Bhutan
.
However
, according to the original description and good quality photos, the unique shape of the paraproct (quite long, strong, directly backward pointed and without a basal tooth) suggests that it is a valid species (cf.
Figure

in
Gyeltshen
et al
