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.
