I would like to add on by posting three photographs from the actual habitat in Pithoragarh district. It is found in Byans (Kali), Darma and northern side of Gori valley of Pithoragarh District, but is not found south of Gori ganga in Gori valley.The altitudinal range is 2500 to 3300m. As Dr.Rawat mentioned, this part of Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand forms the western limit of this species. Eastwards, it is found in Western Nepal and then after a gap found in Eastern Himalayas upto Yunnan in China.
