This species is by now almost cosmopolitan, spread by the human activity, although this is its first record from Nepal (known from Kashmir in the Oriental region: ROHÁČEK et al. 2001) .

Sphaerocera pseudomonilis asiatica L. PAPP, 1988 (a) – 1 female: India, Calcutta , West Bengal – No. 436, 30.V.1980, leg. Topál. New to India. The subspecies of S. pseudomonilis ( ROHÁČEK et al. 2001) need revision, as they may well be true species.
