Distribution. Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan), Philippines (Mindanao), Laos, and Vietnam.

Comments. PIC (1926) described this species from the Philippines, and its aedeagus in dorsal view was figured and characterized in LÖBL (1972). The aedeagal characters seen in lateral view are useful and therefore they are here illustrated ( Figs 4–5 ). Diagnostic characters were also given, and distributional information completed in LÖBL (1981b). The present record is new for Kalimantan.
