Nepalota pernitida ( PACE, 1986)

Atheta (Stethusa) pernitida PACE, 1986: 447 ff.

Comment: The original description of N. pernitida is based on a single female from " Burma, Kalaw" ( PACE 1986). Originally described in the genus Atheta THOMSON, 1858 , it was moved to Nepalota by PACE (2004), who recorded it from Sichuan based on a single female. It was once again moved to Nepalota by PACE (2006), who reported it from Nepal, again based on a single female. The record from Sichuan most likely refers to the externally similar N. globifera , if in fact N. globifera and N. pernitida represent different species.
