Smyga distincta Dworakowska, 1995: 153-155, figs 168-177.

Notes.

The type series was originally stated as holotype male from Brunei, Ulu Temburong and one paratype male and two females from three different localities in Sarawak, Gunung Mulu National Park; however, the paratype male is in fact female. The identity of these three females must remain uncertain until females in the genus can be identified, particularly as other species are sympatric with S. distincta (see Checklist).

Aberrant specimens regarded as possibly this species in its original description are described above as a new species. Therefore, this species is known with certainty only from a single male, the holotype (NHM).
