Comment. Yin & Wang (1984) firstly reported this species from Hunan and Yunnan Provinces. Mengyang County, a part of Xishuangbanna area, is one of the type locations; but the original distribution record lacks of the detailed information. Tong & Li (2010) re-studied this species based on the specimens from Hainan Province. According to Tong & Li (2014), this species seems to be widely distributed in southern China and the adjacent areas.

Distribution. China (Hainan, Hunan, Taiwan, Yunnan), Laos.
