Treatment

Alticola roylei Gray, 1842 . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., [ser. 1], 10:265.

TYPE LOCALITY: India, Kumaon .

DISTRIBUTION: W Himalayas; recorded only from N Kumaon and N Himachal Pradesh (Lahul region) of N India.

SYNONYMS: cautus .

COMMENTS: Subgenus Alticola . Once considered the broadest-ranging species of Alticola in central Asia ( Corbet, 1978c), but with the removal of argentatus and its synonyms ( Rossolimo, 1989), the geographic and morphological definition of roylei conforms to that presented by Hinton (1926).
