Quasimus interpositus Dolin, 1993: 193 (original description; published type locality: Bhutan); Schimmel & Tarnawski, 2009: 117 (treated it as Quasimus View in CoL as per Dolin and their study).

Quasimus (Wittmeroquasimus) interpositus Dolin, 1993 : Korneev & Cate, 2005: 17 (placed it within subgenus Wittmeroquasimus without any comments; type catalogue); Cate, 2007: 191 (catalogue; “ India ”).

Type Locality. Bhutan: Charee ** (likely Cheri, Thimphu Valley ) .

Type Depository. Holotype, M ( NHMB); 2 Paratypes, 1 M, 1 F ( NHMB, SIZK).

General Distribution. Bhutan *, China ( Schimmel & Tarnawski 2011a).

Remark. Cate (2007: 191) added “ India ” as a locality for this species in his catalogue. However, Schimmel & Tarnawski (2009: 117) listed only Bhutan. The original description also does not mention India as part of the species’ distribution. As no relevant literature with material-based records from India could be found, this species is not considered to occur in India.
