A male example from Cao Bang, N. Vietnam showing above is very large in size. The relationship between nominotypical subspecies and the population of N. Vietnam is still not clear. Further taxonomic study is needed.

Drury, D.,1770 : Illustrations of Natural History. Wherein are exhibited upwards of two hundred and forty [two hundred and twenty; two hundred] figures of exotic insects, according to their different genera; very few of which have hitherto been figured by any author, being engraved and coloured from nature, with the greatest accuracy, and under the author's own inspection, on fifty copper-plates. With a particular description of each insect: interspersed with remarks and reflections on the nature and properties of many of them.
