XXIV, fig. 3 [emendation]. Holotype deposited in The Natural History Museum, London; ex collection F. Pascoe 93-60. Type-locality: Malaysia (Sarawak [Borneo Island]). Size: 14.0–27.5 mm. Flying period previously recorded for the species: July. Studied material: 2 males, India: Mizoram / Lawnglai Dist. / Ngengpuikai vill. / Ngeng Pui N. R. / 120–350 m / 20.IV–9. V.2017 / Stanislav Jákl leg. Distribution: Borneo Island, China, India — new country record (Mizoram), Indonesia (Sumatra), Laos, Malaysia. Comments: E. nigrita was described from the Peninsula from Malacca in Malaysia and currently is known from several countries in Asia. Herein, we present the first record of the species for the Indian subcontinent with its collection in the Mizoram State, which extends its geographic range to the west, in the extreme eastern part of the Himalayan foothills. Following Kariyanna et al. (2017) who listed only one species of Eurypoda in India, E. nigrita represents thus the 2 nd species of this genus occurring in the country and the first one in the subgenus Eurypoda.
