C o m m e n t:
Amarochara wrasei
was previously known from the Chinese provinces Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan (
ASSING 2002a
,
2010
), where it is evidently the most common species of the genus. The above specimens from
Laos
represent a new country record. The currently known distribution is illustrated in
