Distribution India ( Assam , Karnataka , Kerala , Maharashtra , Meghalaya , Sikkim , West Bengal , Arunachal Pradesh ); China ( Taiwan , Hunan, Guangdong, Hainan) ( Rosa et al. 2016 ); Australia , Myanmar , Sri Lanka ( Bingham 1903 ); Vietnam ( Kimsey & Bohart 1991 ); Indonesia , Nepal , Papua New Guinea , Thailand ( Rosa et al. 2016 ). Remarks Although further revision is required, multiple species are to be included under the name of Trichrysis imperiosa . The Indian species could belong to Trichrysis cupreidorsus ( Tsuneki, 1963 ) ( Rosa et al. 2021a ) , described from Thailand and synonymised by Kimsey & Bohart (1991) with Praestochrysis lusca ( Fabricius, 1804 ) , without type examination. For the moment, we maintain the assessment given by Rosa et al. (2021a) .
