Remarks. Chydaeus bedeli interjectus is rather common in the Eastern Himalaya. It was known from central and eastern Nepal, India (Sikkim, West Bengal), Bhutan ( Kataev & Schmidt 2002) and China (southern Tibet) ( Kataev et al. 2012). The subspecies is recorded here from the Indian state Arunachal Pradesh for the first time. New findings in the immediately adjacent mountains of South Tibet are also presented.
