Abstract

Heleodromia Haliday is recorded from Tibet for the first time with the following three species belonging to the subgenus Heleodromia: Heleodromia (Heleodromia) ausobskyi Wagner, Heleodromia (Heleodromia) basiflava sp. nov. and H. (H.) immaculata Haliday. This finding extends the distribution of Heleodromia in China from Northwest China to Southwest China. A key to the known species of Heleodromia from the Himalayas is presented.
