Neocollyris ( Neocollyris) saphyrina View in CoL : 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.
