Notes. This species belongs to the speciose species group – nebulosa . Although this species was treated in a number of taxonomic publications ( WSC, 2020) its copulatory organs have never been illustrated in detail. Therefore, we provide photos of the male palp and female epigyne here.

Distribution. It is distributed from India to Japan south to Java and is known from India, Pakistan, Myanmar, China (south, south-east and east provinces), South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia (Java), and Laos (first record).
