Material examined. 4 ♂, 2 ♀, a stream at the gate of Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanic Garden, altitude 550 m, Menglun Town, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, 0 4 June 2013, Hao-miao Zhang leg.; 5 ♂, same site and collector, 0 6 June 2013.

Described from Cambodia and Thailand (Kosterin et al. 2012, Kosterin 2014) and now recorded from Xishuangbanna in southern Yunnan province. The Yunnan specimens are identical to the holotype from Cambodia (the type locality) in body markings but slightly larger, with the abdomen length 32–33 mm and hindwing 24–25 mm. In the beginning of June they were found at the stream about 2.5 m wide and rather open; they all perched on the leaves of small trees about 2–4 m above water from 12:00– 16:00.

Distribution. China (Yunnan: Xishuangbanna), Thailand, Cambodia and South Vietnam (Gouggah waterfall, Dalat, Lamdong Province) Karube (2015).
