Abstract

A new species of the subgenus Pseudoficalbia of the genus Uranotaenia is described from larvae found in a hole in a log at high altitude in montane forest in the Mongar District of Bhutan. Based on morphology, the larvae are sufficiently distinct from other species of the subgenus to be described and formally named here as Uranotaenia bhutanensis Somboon, Namgay & Harbach, n. sp. The species is a member of the Bimaculata Series. The chaetotaxy of the fourth-instar larva is provided.
