appears to be widespread in Hong Kong and has been collected from multiple locations in Hong Kong Island, the New Territories, and Lantau Island (Fig. 2). Considering the widespread distribution of this species in Hong Kong and its association with disturbed secondary forests or forest remnants, we hypothesize that the geographic range of this species might extend further. It seems likely that this species also occurs in Guangdong province (China). The known elevation range is from 1 to 459 m.
