Geographic range

Bhutan, mainland China (Guangxi, Hainan), Indonesia (Borneo, Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, Sumatra), Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam.

New record for Hainan.

Ecology

Collected in secondary forest.

Comments

Another common species in the Oriental and Sino-Japanese realms, which was also recorded in Guangxi Province, hence Hainan Province falls within the geographical range of the species. The presence in Guangdong Province of mainland China, as well as Cambodia and Laos, seems likely.
