Trachischium apteii Bhosale, Gowande & Mirza |
Remarks:
Reported from China by Wang, Ren, Chen, Lyu, Guo, Jiang, Chen, Li, Guo, Wang & Che (2020), but the species has not actually been recorded from any Chinese-controlled areas.
The inclusion of apteii in the work above is based on the fact that the distribution of the species is located in the part of Arunachal Pradesh, India, which is claimed by China
and considered part of Tibet by the Chinese government (Kai Wang, pers. comm., January 6th, 2021).
Distribution:
India
(Arunachal Pradesh).

Ablabes gilgiticus Annandale (Smith 1943) |
|

Eminophis lineolata Werner (Smith 1943) |
Remarks:
Listed for Jammu & Kashmir by several authors (e.g., Kramer 1977; Murthy & Sharma 1976; Nanhoe & Ouboter 1987; Sharma & Sharma 1975; Smith 1943),
but although this species was also reported from the state by Sahi & Duda (1985), it was not listed in a subsequent work by the same authors (Sahi & Duda 1996).
It is unclear whether the authors intentionally removed the species from the state list in their latter work, but it is tentatively included here, since it does not seem unlikely that
the species occurs in the state, having been confirmed for localities as close as in Uttarakhand.
Distribution:
Bhutan,
India
(Arunachal Pradesh,
Assam,
Jammu & Kashmir,
Sikkim,
Uttarakhand,
West Bengal),
Nepal.
