and cotypes for this species originally, the
type

According

Mungpoo
in northeastern
India
) should be considered as
type
locality of this taxon.
Remarks.
This species is widely distributed from northern
India
to northern
Thailand
. The male genitalia of Chinese specimens well fits those figured by
Prokofiev (2015a)
.
