Dey & Hausmann 2021 New distribution and range extension records of geometrid moths
(Lepidoptera: Geometridae) from two western Himalayan protected areas, JoTT, 13(7): 18817–18826 reports it as a new record from Uttarakhand
Remarks from the paper: Further research is required to clarify
distribution and species delimitation of the species pair
Cidaria basharica and C. antauges Prout, 1938, the latter
described from Kashmir/Kokser. Wing pattern of our
record from Uttarakhand is well matching the figure for
a Nepalese specimen in Yazaki (2000), whilst the type of
C. basharica shows a much narrower medial area. It is
not excluded that the populations of Uttarakhand and
Nepal belong to C. antauges.
