Distribution. Indonesia (Sumatra).

Remarks. This species was described from a single female with the following data: “Sumatra. Type im Stettiner Museum”. Images of the female holotype labelled “Sumatra” in MIZ have been examined. Due to the similarity of congeneric females in Dusana and absence of males in this species it is not possible to be certain of its identity. However, the bases of the ovipositor (Fig. 20) are exposed which is not the case with other females examined suggesting it is a valid species.
