Notes

Authority: Distant 1897; Sanborn (2014) lists India in reference to Sanborn et al. (2007) whose distribution list was generated from Metcalf (1963), which only states Burma and Tenasserim. The type locality (Chin Hills) extends into India (Lushai Hills - Nagaland), thus this species may be recorded in Nagaland in future.
