Distribution.
— This species was described from
Vietnam
. It is probably widespread in the Oriental Region (see
Balke et al., 2004
). However, thorough faunistic studies have not been carried out yet.
In
Singapore
(
Fig. 15
), this species was collected in the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (University pond), and near River Sembawang (natural habitat destroyed: see
Hall, 2012
).
