Ek-Amnuay ([2007],2012) recorded this species from Thailand (Mae Tha; Chanthaburi). However, the figured specimen is from Laos. There is no reliable record from Thailand until now. Further distributional research is needed.

The species of this genus are so similar that identification by male genitalia is required. Therefore, records that do not examine the male genitalia cannot be adopted. In addition, although there are many field photos, most are either misidentified or unidentifiable and therefore cannot be used as records.
