Geodromicus palpalis Coiffait, 1977: 271 ; Herman 2001: 300, Smetana 2004: 244, Schülke & Smetana 2015: 314.

Type material examined. Holotype ♂: ‘ Dampelek b. Jumla’ <printed>, ‘ Gebiet von Jumla Westnepal, lg. H.Franz’ <printed>, ‘ Holotype’ <red, printed>, ‘ Geodromicus palpalis H. Coiffait 1976 ’ <handwritten> ( MHNH).

Remarks. Geodromicus palpalis was originally described from “Dampelek près Jumla, Nèpal occidental…” and “…environs de Maharigaon, 3000–3500 m, région de Jumla…” ( Fig. 89 ). During the study of the holotype, I found that this species belongs to the genus Asiageodromicus . Maxillary palpus as in fig. 5J and aedeagus as in fig. 5I in Coiffait (1977).
