Distribution. Japan (Kyushu) (new record), Korea (South, Chejudo Island) ( LEE & KWON 1991, KWON et al. 2001, KERZHNER 2001), China (Guangdong, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Fujian, Jiangxi, Shandong, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Xizang, Zhejiang, Hainan) ( LIU 1981, HUA 2000, KERZHNER 2001; this paper), Taiwan (new record), India (Meghalaya) ( WALKER 1873, STEHLÍK 2007a; this paper), Vietnam (new record), Laos ( STEHLÍK 2005a; this paper), Thailand ( STEHLÍK & JINDRA 2003; this paper), Malaysia (Malayan Peninsula: Kelantan, Pahang, Perak, Selangor; Kalimantan: Sabah) (new records), Indonesia (Java, Mentawai Islands: Siberut, Sumatra) ( BLÖTE 1931, SCHOUTEDEN 1933; this paper).

Old records of Physopelta albofasciata from China, Japan, and Taiwan refer either to Ph. cincticollis or to Ph. parviceps ( LIU 1981, KERZHNER 2001). Records of Ph. cincticollis from Japan (e.g.,, SCOTT 1874, 1880; MANNA et al. 1985; TOMOKUNI 1989; MIYAMOTO 1970; ISHIHARA et al. 1974; KOHNO et al. 2002) and Taiwan (e.g., ESAKI 1926, MIYAMOTO 1965) were previously referred to as Ph. parviceps ( STEHLÍK & KERZHNER 1999, KERZHNER 2001, RÉDEI et al. 2009). However, in this paper the distribution of Ph. cincticollis in Japan (Kyushu) and Taiwan is confirmed, which suggests that some of the previous records may be correct. WALKER (1873: 20) described also two unnamed varieties of Ph. cincticollis from localities Batchian [= Baccan Islands] in Moluccas and Sulu [Archipelago] in the Philippines. These records definitely belong to other species.
