Nebria (Epinebriola) orestias ANDREWES, 1932 View in CoL
N. orestias was known only from the type locality Jelep pass (Eastern Sikkim) from the India-China border, until Shilenkov (1998) reported the species from the Jaljale Himal (Tangje La, Meropapa La, Pomri La) in Eastern Nepal at a distance of more than hundred kilometres from the type locality of N. orestias . The examination of the specimens from Jaljale Himal and of a large amount of recently collected specimens in the same massif (Lumba Sumba pass ) reveals significant differences to the holotype specimen of N. orestias from Eastern Sikkim. The specimens from Jaljale Himal (and neighbouring localities) are therefore described as a new species N. pseudorestias sp. nov. (see below).
Distribution ( Fig. 41 View Fig , Nr. 21): Based on current data, the distribution of N. orestias seems to be restricted to the type locality Jalep pass in Eastern Sikkim on the easternmost slope of the Dongkya Mountain group, which forms the border between Sikkim and Tibet.
