So far, the species was known from Thailand, Taiwan and China. The present specimens represent the first records of this species for Laos. The habitus is shown in photographs for the first time ( Fig. 6 View Figs. 6 - 7 ). Spiders were caught from larger tree trunks (That Se, Tham Pathok) and from cave walls in the entrance area (Tham Kamouk).
