Distribution. Vietnam (new record); Pakistan (new record), India: Assam, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, West Bengal; Nepal; Laos; China; Mongolia; Korea; Japan ( Bingham 1897, van der Vecht 1963, Gusenleitner 1987, 2006, Kim 2003, Matsumura 1911).

Remarks. Kumar (2013) newly recorded A. coracinum van der Vecht from Pakistan and India. This species was keyed out together with A. flavolineatum in couple 4 ( Kumar, 2013: 141) by: “Mesoscutum posteriorly more sparsely punctate, here several interspaces at least as large as the diameter of the punctures”, but a mesoscutum picture of A. coracinum from Kumar (per. comm.) showed that the punctures on its mesoscutum very dense, and other pictures of the species in Kumar (2013) (images 11 & 12) showed that it is A. f. flavomarginatum . So A. coracinum van der Vecht, 1963 sensu Kumar (2013) is a misidentification of A. f. flavomarginatum (Smith) , and the record of this species from Pakistan and India belongs to A. f. flavomarginatum .
