The species was described from Yunnan ( China) and more recently (JAEGER & WRASE 1995: 315) it was reported from Nepal. It is recorded here for Afghanistan (Nangarhar and Kunar provinces) and India (West Bengal: Darjeeling District) for the first time. According to ITO (2003: 145), who examined only specimens from Yunnan and Nepal, P. yunnanus is also distributed in Vietnam, Myanmar and Laos, but these records are apparently based on a wrong interpretation of the statement by JAEGER & WRASE (1995: 314) who only supposed a wider distribution of this species.
