Hygrodromicus coriaceus (Cameron, 1924) Geodromicus coriaceus Cameron, 1924: 172. Hygrodromicus coriaceus: Zerche 1992: 120, Shavrin 2021a: 338, 2024c: 237, 2024d: 385. Geodromicus perplexus Cameron, 1941: 144. Geodromicus palpalis Coiffait, 1977: 271. Hygrogeus ledouxi Coiffait, 1983: 282. Asiageodromicus palpalis: Shavrin 2024b [confusion!] Material examined. PAKISTAN: 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀: ‘ Oesterreichische Karakorum Expedition leg. Dr. E. Piffl’, ‘ Haramosh-Massiv Iskere, Bachufer’ (NMW); INDIA: UTTARAKHAND: 1 ♀: ca. 30 km N Bageshwar, SE Dakhuri vill. 2600– 2800 m a.s.l. 25– 26.06.2003. Z. Kejval & M. Trýzna leg.

Hygrodromicus coriaceus is widely distributed in the Himalayan Region, and known from Kashmir to Nepal. Shavrin (2024b) erroneosly provided Geodromicus palpalis Coiffait, 1977 as a member of the genus Asiageodromicus Shavrin, 2024, and provided a new combination. This is an unfortunate mistake! In fact, G. palpalis belongs to the genus Hygrodromicus Tronquet, 1981, which was established by me earlier (Shavrin 2024c), and it was synonymized with H. coriaceus based on the study of the type and an additional material. It is here recorded from Pakistan for the first time.
