Neocollyris (Neocollyris) saphyrina

Neocollyris (Neocollyris) saphyrina (Chaudoir, 1850) Figs 10 D, 11 E Neocollyris (Neocollyris) saphyrina: Li and Chen 1993: 102. Published data. ? Yunnan (Li and Chen 1993: 102),? Sichuan (Xichang) (Li and Chen 1993: 102). New records. Xizang, Shigatse, Gyirong, 2400 m, leg. F. S. Huang, 22. vii. 1975, 1 female (IZCAS). Distribution. China (Xizang,? Yunnan,? Sichuan), India, Myanmar, Laos, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia. Remarks. Gyirong borders Nepal, from where N. saphyrina was previously known. Shook and Wiesner (2006) indicated that records included by Li and Chen (1993) for N. (N.) saphyrina in Yunnan and Sichuan (Xichang) required confirmation. The location reported here, Gyirong, is far from Yunnan and Sichuan, and the closest confirmed distribution of N. (N.) saphyrina to Yunnan and Sichuan is in Cambodia and Laos, but with some similar species present in this area, the records for Yunnan and Sichuan still need to be re-examined. We restore the record of N. (N.) saphyrina for China with a new provincial record for Xizang. Subgenus Pachycollyris Naviaux, 1995
