Dicharax bhudepressus Gittenberger, Choki Gyeltshen & Kezang Tobgay in Gittenberger et al., 2024: 211, figs 34–35.

Diagnosis

Not similar to any other species of Dicharax . Although no spiral striation was mentioned in the original description, this species rather resembles some species of Metalycaeus, such as M. heudei (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1900) (see Páll-Gergely et al. 2017). However, the photos in the original description are not of sufficient resolution to see the fine sculpture. We keep this species in Dicharax until we will have the opportunity to examine the holotype or additional material. Nevertheless, this species is not similar to any species of Metalycaeus from the Himalayas.

Type locality
