Balfour-Browne, 1944 ] Notes. This subspecies was mentioned from China ( Tibet and Yunnan ) by Nilsson (1998) . The record of Tibet was based on some specimens labelled “Tibet-Nepal border, Kodari, Tatopani”. The locality actually belongs to Nepal and not Xizang in China . Šťastný (2003) just followed the Nilsson’s record but without studying any other specimens from Xizang . On the other hand, the specimens from Baoshan ( Yunnan ) studied by Nilsson (1998) were treated as a new subspecies— P. kashmiranus lemberki by Šťastný (2003) . Therefore, we remove P. kashmiranus kashmiranus from the Chinese fauna.
