Myanmar name:

Distribution: Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Northern Myanmar (recorded in Hkakaborazi Landscape, Kachin State; Bates et al. 2021).

Remarks: Previously listed as M. aurta; however, subsequent studies suggested that specimens previously regarded as M. aurata elsewhere in Southeast Asia should be referred to M. eleryi, whilst M. aurata may be restricted to the mountains around its type locality in Tibet (Eger and Lim 2011; Francis et al. 2010; Francis and Eger 2012).
