Remarks.
This large genus of 49 recognised species (
Ng et al., 2008
, 2016; Ng, 2014;
De Grave et al., 2022
) is recorded from southern
Thailand
to Sumatra, Peninsular
Malaysia
, Java, Borneo, Sulawesi, as well as
Palawan
and some adjacent islands in the
Philippines
. Borneo is not the centre of distribution with just 10 species, but is believed to be the origin of the remaining taxa (cf.
Klaus et al., 2013
).
