Orphnebius hauseri EPPELSHEIM, 1895 Material examined: India Uttarakhand: 13, 5 km NW Ghangaria, "valley of flowers", "N30*43.356' E079*85.309'", 3420 m, [date not indicated, probably VI.2011], leg. Shavrin (cAss). Comment: Confirmed records of O. hauseri were previously known only from Himachal Pradesh and Nepal (ASSING 2009). Previous records from China and Taiwan (PACE 2010, 2012) and even some from Nepal (PACE 1992) are undoubtedly based on misidentified material (see ASSING 2006a, the section on O. jumlaicus, and the description of O. formosanus).Published as part of Assing, Volker, 2015, On the Orphnebius fauna of the East Palaearctic region.
