Notes

Pinratana (1981) recorded this taxon from Loei, Thailand. The specimen is only illustrated on the underside, and the image is unclear and not well defined. However, the specimen is most likely to be Everes argiades. Therefore, I remove the record from Thailand until a reliable specimen is found.
