Pristosia View in CoL spec.
Regarding other occurrences of Pristosia in the Nepal Himalaya, a widely isolated Pristosia population on the north western slope of the Dhaulagiri massif is known to us from a single immature female specimen. The eyes are slightly larger than in P. dahud Morvan, 1994 , and in P. g l a b e l l a sp. n., the elytral microsculpture is not scale-like as in females of P. dahud dahud , the pronotum is more slender than in P. dahud polita s sp. n.
and in P. similata sp. n. Because important diagnostic characters of male genitalia are not currently available we are not able to present a sufficient specific diagnosis and therefore we abstain from a denomination and description of a new species.
Material: NEPAL, DOLPA DISTRICT: 1 female, with label data “nördl. [north of] Dhaulagiri, Gompa/ Tarakot 3300–3400 m, 2.–6.VI.1973 ”, “NEPAL-Expeditionen Jochen Martens” ( SMNS).
