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 is thought to be Lethe mataja due to an erroneous locality (see Satyrinae - Addendum), and the record of Kimura et al. 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.
