Comment: The previously known distribution of this West Himalayan species ranged from Kashmir across Himachal Pradesh to West Nepal ( ASSING 2006b, 2015a, 2016b). The above specimens from Pakistan represent a new country record, those from Uttarakhand new province records. The currently known distribution, which is largely congruent with that of O. hauseri , is illustrated in Map 2 View Map 2 .
