Material examined. PAKISTAN, [Islamabad,] Margalla Hills, Pir Sohawa, 33°49'N 73°08'E, 1000 m, 4. viii. 1998, Z. Varga & G. Ronkay ( SMCR).

Remarks. Polyptychus trilineatus subsp. trilineatus is widely distributed in continental South East Asia, from northern Pakistan, east along the Himalaya to southeast China, then south through Thailand and Vietnam ( Pittaway & Kitching, 2013). It is replaced by other subspecies in southwest India / Sri Lanka, the Andaman Islands, Sumatra, Java/Bali, the Philippines and Sulawesi. Curiously, the species has yet to be recorded from the island of Borneo.
