Harpyia nadiae Morozov, 2013 ; Tinea 22: 182. TL: China, West Yunnan, Wudingshan, N-Xiangyan.

Material examined. India: 1 ♂, Manipur, Ukhrul district, Shirui Hill (Site 1), 25.1264°N 94.4357°E, 1930 m, 13.III.2019, in coll NCZ, ZSI , Registration no. 11532/H10; 2 ♂♂, Shirui Hill (Site 2), 25.1236°N 94.4408°E, 2036 m, 24.VII.2019; 1 ♂, Shirui Hill (Site 3), 25.1171°N 94.4456°E, 2190 m, 13.III.2019; 1 ♂, Shirui Hill (Site 4), 25.1112°N 94.4534°E, 2425 m, 25.VII.2019, genitalia slide no. JSI-GP 338; leg. JS Irungbam, India, ( NCZ, ZSI) .

Diagnosis. The Harpyia longipennis complex was revised by Morozov (2013), raising H. formosicola (from Taiwan) and H. yunnanensis (from China, Yunnan, Vietnam, and Thailand) to valid species. The male genitalia of our examined specimens are different from all other species of the H. longipennis group by having a prominent apical valva process. 8 th sternite bears a central projection on the posterior margin. Externally, H. nadiae is not distinguishable from H. longipennis .

Distribution. India: Manipur (In the present study). Elsewhere: China, Vietnam ( Morozov 2013).
