Davidius aberrans aberrans

Davidius aberrans aberrans
(Selys, 1873)
Elevation 1700 to 3000m
Abdomen length 27mm
Bhutan
I first saw this species at the Royalotanic Gardens outside of Thimphu at 2700m, then again at Gangety Monastery sitting above Phobjikha Valley at 2800m. The third record was from Haa Valley also at nearly 2800m. The date was 22nd May and the other was in early August. Fraser reports this species from Northeast India in Assam. This one is reported to be found in Nepal, but so far unrecorded.
