Comment: Amaurodera schuelkei was originally described based on two specimens from Northwest Yunnan (ASSING 2009) and subsequently reported from additional localities in Yunnan (YAN & LI 2015a). The above specimens considerably expand the known distribution northwestwards and represent the first records from India and from outside Yunnan. The primary sexual characters of the material from Assam are illustrated in Figs 124–126.
