Megapomponia imperatoria ( Westwood, 1842)

Although this species has been reported from India, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Borneo, Sarawak, and Indonesia (Metcalf 1963 d; Sanborn et al. 2007), this species is confined to the peninsular Malaysia as Hayashi ( 1993) indicated. Accordingly, the records of this species from Cambodia made by Walker ( 1870), Metcalf ( 1963 b), and Sanborn et al. ( 2007) should be regarded as erroneous records due to misidentification and/or simple citations of previous literature.
