Assing, Volker, 2015, On the Orphnebius fauna of the East Palaearctic region. VI. Six new species from China and Taiwan, and additional records (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae: Lomechusini), Linzer biologische Beiträge 47 (1), pp. 101-125 : 105

Orphnebius hauseri EPPELSHEIM, 1895

Material examined: India Uttarakhand: 13, 5 km NW Ghangaria , "valley of flowers" , "N30*43.356' E079*85.309'", 3420 m, [date not indicated, probably VI.2011], leg. Shavrin ( cAss).

Comment: Confirmed records of O. hauseri were previously known only from Himachal Pradesh and Nepal ( ASSING 2009). Previous records from China and Taiwan ( PACE 2010, 2012) and even some from Nepal ( PACE 1992) are undoubtedly based on misidentified material (see ASSING 2006a, the section on O. jumlaicus , and the description of O. formosanus ).
