Scientific Note: Records of Pseudocoladenia dan fabia and P. fatua (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Pyrginae) from Nepal

Abstract

Several individuals of Pseudocoladenia dan fabia (Evans, 1949) and Pseudocoladenia fatua (Evans, 1949) are reported from Sunsari and Dhankuta districts of East Nepal. Identifications were based on external characters and genital structures of examined specimens. This is the first record of P. fatua from Nepal, while a previous report of P. dan fabia from Nepal was doubtful and we here confirm for the first time its occurrence in Nepal.
