Abstract: This communication reports the first confirmed sighting of Coeliccia svihleri Asahina, 1970 in Arunachal Pradesh, India, based on photographic evidence collected in the presence of forest personnel at Deban in the Namdapha Tiger Reserve during October 2024. Environmental conditions in the region that may support the presence of this species are discussed, with an emphasis on the potential impact of climate change on species distribution and habitat stability. The discovery of C. svihleri adds a significant new record to the biodiversity of the region, outlining the further need for continuous monitoring and habitat conservation for sustaining in-situ biodiversity.
