The discovery of Epiophlebia laidlawi Tillyard, 1921 in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal (Anisozygoptera: Epiophlebiidae)

2 teneral?, I d exuviae and 36 penultimate — 5-ultimate instar larvae of both sexes, collected May 2-3, 1979 in the Shiwapuri Hills, Kathmandu Valley (alt. 2300-2732 m), are brought on record. This is the second record of E. laidlawi from Nepal (cf. S. ASAHINA, 1963, Tombob: 17-20) and the first case of the adult and larval stages of this sp. being collected at one and the same locality. Since the original sp. description is based on the larval stage only (R.J. TILLYARD, 1921, Rec. !nä. Mus. 22: 93-107), the present material confirms ASAHINA’s 1963 description of the supposed adult from eastern Nepal. Photographs of the adult, exuviae and of the 4 anteultimate instars are also provided.
