Remarks. This species was originally reported from southern China (Yunnan) and northern Thailand and subsequently from northern Vietnam ( Zorn et al. 2017). It is reported from northern Laos (Xieng Khouang), eastern Thailand (Chon Buri) and central Vietnam (Quang Nam) herein. The examined material extends its known distribution range along the southern boundary of Yunnan. The female from Yingjiang County suggests possible occurrence of this species in northern Myanmar.

Distribution. China; Laos (new country record); Thailand; Vietnam.
