Comments: E. batesi was described from the Honshu (Japan) and is now known from six countries belonging to the Palaearctic and Oriental regions. Herein, we present the first record of the species for the Indian subcontinent with its collection in the Mizoram State, which extends its geographic range to the west, in the extreme eastern part of the Himalaya. Eurypoda (Neoprion) batesi represents the 3 rd species of Eurypoda recorded in India and the second one for the subgenus Neoprion; the other species, E. (Neoprion) parandraeformis (Lacordaire, 1869), has been recorded from the Andaman Islands (Gahan 1906) and from Tamil Nadu State (Kariyanna et al. 2017).
