There are 2 records of this taxon from Thailand so far. One was Morishita,1994 from Me-swai [Mae Sai, Chiang Rai] and another was Kimura et al.,2016 from Ban Pha Nok Khao, Loei. However the record of Morishita,1994 is thought to be Lethe mataja due to an erroneous locality (see Satyrinae - Addendum), and the record of Kimura et al.,2016 is considered to be Lethe philesana. Moreover, I recorded it from Laos, but it was a misidentification of Lethe philesana. Therefore, this taxon has not been found in Thailand and Laos until now.
