Type material examined

BHUTAN • 12 syntypes ( Fig. 53A–E); Damsang, W. Bhutan; Robert leg.; NHMUK 1903.7 About NHMUK .1.2677 .

Type locality

“Damsang Peak, Western Bhutan Hills”.

Differential diagnosis

The most similar species is D. notatus , which has a more inflated R3 and denser R1 ribs. Dicharax nowgongensis (Godwin-Austen, 1914) is also similar, but its basal lip is rounded.

Remarks

The specimens figured by Gittenberger et al. (2024) from Bhutan differ from the type specimens in the denser R1 ribbing and the ribbed R3 (vs smooth in D. damsangensis ). Therefore, they likely represent an undescribed species.
