Remarks. Nephele hespera was recorded in Pakistan from Faisalabad (as N. didyma f. didyma and N. didyma f. hespera ) by Mehmood et al. (1996). It occurs from Afghanistan and Pakistan, east across Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, the Andaman Islands, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, to southern China, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Java. It has also been recorded from southern Papua New Guinea and on the islands of Dauan and Warraber off the northern tip of Queensland, Australia ( Pittaway & Kitching, 2013).
