REMARKS. In the original description, Moore (1878) reported both sexes from two localities ("Cherra; Khasia hills") therefore the existence of syntypes is obvious.

Due to the close similarity of B. prominens and B. wernerthomasi , the male lectotype is designated here to avoid any confusion in the future. The holotype of

Lyclene delicata ( Fig. 13 View Figs ) is a worn specimen of B. prominens only, thus the new synonymy is established here.

DISTRIBUTION. NE India, E Nepal. The record for SW China (Tibet) (Fang,

2000) needs a confirmation.
