Distribution.
Thailand
and
Vietnam
.
Remarks.
This species was described from
Thailand
by
Takaoka and Suzuki (1984)
, and later recorded from
Vietnam
by
Crosskey and Howard (1997)
. No detailed information of this record was given, leaving the locality in
Vietnam
unknown. There is a possibility that the taxa regarded as
S
. (
G
.)
siamense
and
S
. (
G
.)
duolongum
are the same species because the pupal gills of both species are morphologically indistinguishable from each other (
Takaoka and Suzuki 1984
;
Takaoka and Davies 1995
).
