Notes on the Morphology and Distribution of the Himalayan Genus Pseudothilmanus, Including the First Record of the Genus from Nepal (Coleoptera: Rhagophthalmidae)

Abstract

Pseudothilmanus Pic, 1918 is a genus of beetles currently placed in Rhagophthalmidae. The species P. alatus Pic, 1918 and P. marginatus Pic, 1918 were described based on single holotypes from India with little descriptive information. Later, in a revision of the genus, a new specimen of P. alatus was examined, but also without specific locality. This paper provides the description of the wing venation and new distributional records for this genus, including the first record in Nepal.
