Notes

Authority: Walker 1858b; Metcalf (1963) states "Eastern India, India, Assam" in reference to India orientalis. Lee (2010b) states that the type locality is Myanmar and that records from China, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand may have been based on mididentifications of closely allied species. Subsequent references to India in Sanborn (2014) are likely to be due to previous inaccurate literature localities.
