Description

Poecilosomella nepalensis (DEEMING, 1969)

Material studied: 2 males (NMNH): NEPAL: Sundarijal, 4500–5000 feet, 29 October 1977, Gary F. Hevel. 1 male (NMNH): Pakistan, Punj. [ab] Prov., Murree, 7000–7500 ft., 26–28 September 1976, G. F. Hevel & R. E: Dietz IV.

I have added further to the original description, including with five figures of the male postabdomen and genitalia (PAPP 1991a: figs 21–25). I would like to call attention to the peculiar sclerotization of the phallus, which is also partly depicted in its original description (a thick black line behind surstylus in fig. 17 of DEEMING 1969). Formerly known from Nepal and India, new to Pakistan.
