Remark
.
Holloway (2001)
reported the species for Borneo based on a single female specimen from Pulo Laut. Unfortunately, the second author of the present paper did not locate this specimen in the NHMUK collection. However, despite the external similarity of adults, the female genitalia illustrated by
Holloway (2001
: fig. 92) display remarkable differences from those of the true
D. flavicosta
from Khasi Hills and obviously belong to another, unknown species.
Distribution
. The species is known only from Northeastern
India
(
Meghalaya
) (
Moore 1878
). Reporting of this species from
Thailand
(
Černý & Pinratana
2009
) is due to wrong identification.
