Remarks. Mey’s (2017) illustrations of Leiothrichinirmus grammatoptiliphagus are sufficient to recognise it as a valid species, distinguishable from L. weigoldi by the chaetotaxy of the posterior segments as shown by Mey (2017: figs 90, 93). However, the separation of L. grammatoptiliphagus from L. himalayanus is not clear (see below).
