Nepalota pernitida

Comment: The original description of
N. pernitida
is based on a single female from "
Burma
, Kalaw" (
PACE 1986
). Originally described in the genus
Atheta
THOMSON, 1858
, it was moved to
Nepalota
by
PACE (2004)
, who recorded it from Sichuan based on a single female. It was once again moved to
Nepalota
by
PACE (2006)
, who reported it from
Nepal
, again based on a single female. The record from Sichuan most likely refers to the externally similar
N. globifera
, if in fact
N. globifera
and
N. pernitida
represent different species.
