DIAGNOSIS. The subspecies differs from B. linga linga ( Figs 17, 18 View Figs 15–20 ) by strongly reduced black pattern elements. The male genitalia ( Fig. 32 View Figs 30–32 ) are very similar to those of

B. linga linga ( Fig. 31 View Figs 30–32 ) and differ only by the slightly narrower medial costal process and the slightly larger cornuti in vesica; the female genitalia ( Fig. 40 View Figs 35–42 ) have slightly shorter and narrower sclerotized posterior section of ductus bursae than those of the nominate subspecies

( Fig. 39 View Figs 35–42 ).

DISTRIBUTION. Barsine linga spilosomoides is known from West Himalaya (NW

India, N Pakistan). The nominate subspecies is widespread in East Himalaya, NW China

(Yunnan) and N Thailand. Records of Barsine " spilosomoides " for East Himalaya (Singh et al., 2014; Kirti & Singh, 2015) belong to females of B. defecta , and records for SE China

(Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian) (Daniel, 1952; Fang, 2000) belong to B. kulingensis .
