Material examined. India : 2 ♂, Arunachal Pradesh , lower Subansiri , Pange Wildlife Sanctuary , 17.x.2017 , leg . B. Sinha & Party (NZCZSI, 7019/ H10) . Diagnosis. Originally, Parasa kalawensis was described as a distinct species from Kalaw, Myanmar . Subsequently, Solovyev (2014) downgraded P. kalawensis as a subspecies of Melinaria pseudorepanda and it is externally distinct from the nominotypical subspecies, M. p. pseudorepanda ( Fig. 7 ), by the colour of the hindwing, but their genitalia are almost identical. Another closely similar Indian species, M. repanda ( Fig. 6 ) is distinguishable from M. p. kalawensis by the presence of a ventral digitate process in the valva ( Solovyev 2014 ). Distribution. Myanmar , China ( Yunnan , Guangxi ), Laos , northern Thailand , Vietnam ( Solovyev 2014 ) and Arunachal Pradesh ( India ). First record for the Lepidoptera fauna in India .
