Treatment

Alticola albicauda (True, 1894) . Proc. U. S. Natl. Mus., 17: 12.

TYPE LOCALITY: India, Baltistan, Braldu Valley .

DISTRIBUTION: Recorded only from the Himalayan portions of Baltistan and Kashmir, NW India.

SYNONYMS: acmaeus .

COMMENTS: Subgenus Alticola . Although usually included in A. roylei ( Corbet, 1978c; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Gromov and Polyakov, 1977), the diagnostic traits of albicauda that set it apart as a distinct species were earlier pointed out by Hinton (1926). Schwarz's (1939) acmaeus identifies a geographic variant of the same species.
