Popis: An individual of Banded Lineblue Prosotas aluta was discovered in Bangladesh on 7 September 2018 from the Kaptai National Park, a mixed evergreen protected forest in the southeastern region of the country. The discovered species was found in the hill stream named ‘Boro Chara’. The photographic documentation confirms the certainty of the species. The occupancy of P. aluta in Asia and distribution around Bangladesh in Cachar and Khasi Hills of India indicate its existence but confirmation was wanting till date. Hence, we report the first confirmed record from Bangladesh.
