Abstract

Himalotrechus humeratus gen. n., sp. n. is described from the easternmost portion of the Greater Himalaya in the Arunachal Pradesh State of India. The relationships of this new genus within Trechini are discussed based on the relevant characters in external and genital morphology. Himalotrechus gen. n. is likely to be a member of the Epaphiopsis Complex (Deuve et al., 2016).
