| Popis: | Reicheiodes (Himalayodes) franzi DOSTAL, 1993 Additional material: Nepal, Shivapuri N Kathmandu, upper Bhudanilkantha, 2000���2500 m, 27+ 28.iv.2003, 10 specimens leg. J. Schmidt (CSCHM, CBB). Remarks. The new record confirms previous finds. Up to today, this species is known from Mt. Phulchoki on the southern border of Kathmandu Valley and from Shivapuri Lekh on the northern border of Kathmandu Valley (Balkenohl & Schmidt 2015). Based on the investigation of larger series (see also Balkenohl & Schmidt 2015) we found that the populations from both these localities vary morphologically. Specimens from the Shivapuri Lekh have, on average, less impressed striae on the elytra than those from Mt. Phulchoki. However, this feature seems to vary continuously with no distinct limit between the different populations. Additional investigations based on more comprehensive material are thus needed to understand the actual geographical variation of the species.
