Abstract

This study is on the first record of a lampyrid Abscondita chinensis (Linnaeus) from Doon Valley, Uttarakhand, India. Sample collection was done during May to September 2021 (7:30- 9:30 p.m.), through sweeping net and hand-picking methods. Morphology including genitalia are described with confirmation based on genitalia. Abscondita chinensis is differentiated from Abscondita terminalis with which it is frequently confused with.
