Known from India only by a single specimen collected by Avinov in 1912 from Panomik, Nubro, Ladakh (=Panamik, Nubra Valley, Ladakh), housed in the BMNH (Smetacek & Kitching, 2012). This record represents only the second sighting of this species from India after 105 years, after our previous record from Nubra Valley on 1 July 2016.
