The Himalayan Tortoiseshell, Aglais caschmirensis aesis (Fruhstorfer, 1912) is reported for the first time from Meghalaya, North-East India, from a single specimen collected from Nongkhyllem Wildlife Sanctuary. The present paper bridges the existing distribution ‘gap’ of the species to include Meghalaya which is in between Sikkim and Nagaland, besides revising the altitudinal distribution of the species to include a lower elevation.
