E. batesi
was described from the Honshu (
Japan
) and is now known from six countries belonging to the Palaearctic and Oriental regions. Herein, we present the first record of the species for the Indian subcontinent with its collection in the
Mizoram State
, which extends its geographic range to the west, in the extreme eastern part of the Himalaya.
Eurypoda
(
Neoprion
)
batesi
represents the 3
rd
species of
Eurypoda
recorded in
India
and the second one for the subgenus
Neoprion
; the other species,
E.
(
Neoprion
)
parandraeformis
(Lacordaire, 1869)
, has been recorded from the Andaman Islands (
Gahan 1906
) and from
Tamil Nadu State
(
Kariyanna
