摘要
Thorectes shankara sp. n. from West Himalayas is described and illustrated. A checklist of the Himalayan species of Thorectes is given, including detailed records. A key to these species is provided and their diagnostic characters are summarized. Metathoracic wings are strongly but not completely reduced in these species. The wing reduction in Thorectes is discussed.
