Distribution. Anisops nasutus is widely distributed from India to Australia ( CHEN et al. 2005). However, listed materials represent the first record from Brunei and the entire island of Borneo. Regarding the Philippines, an unspecific record by NIESER & CHEN (1999) was cited by ZETTEL (2003), but not repeated by CHEN et al. (2005), and was specified ‘Mindanao’ by NIESER et al. (2008). The examined specimens represent the first record from Bohol Island.
