Comment: The vast distribution of this species, which ranges from the Himalaya across South China to Java and Bali, is mapped in ASSING (2016b). The above male from Sumatra is of paler coloration than specimens seen from other regions. On the other hand, no significant differences were observed in the shape of the aedeagus. Nevertheless, the identification should be considered tentative for the time being.
