Remarks. This species was described from a single specimen from the Murree Hills in the northern Punjab ( Pakistan), which remains the only known example from Pakistan. This species is also found in Nepal and India (Sikkim and Meghalaya) ( Brechlin & Kitching, 2012). The populations in southwestern China (Yunnan, Guangxi and Hainan Island), northern Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and northern Sumatra are now considered to belong to a separate species, Callambulyx diehli Brechlin & Kitching, 2012 .
