Distribution: Bhutan ( Frey, 1975a ), China ( Hong Kong ) ( Boheman, 1858 ), India (Barlow, 1899), Indonesia ( Sumatra ) ( Nonfried, 1894b ), Japan , ( Waterhouse 1875 ). Remark: This species was originally described from Hong Kong . Surprisingly, Nonfried (1894b) reported it also from Sumatra , Barlow (1899) from Sikkim and Frey (1975a) from Bhutan . These records might be based on misidentifications. Similarly, the record of A. splendida from Japan ( Waterhouse, 1875 ) is doubtful, and probably refers to A. amida (see Sawada, 1940 ).
