Distribution:— Myanmar, Thailand and Indochina.

Notes:— Seidenfaden (1973: 233) pointed out that there is a note attached to the isotype sheet at W saying “kindly if new give it Micholitz’s name, he found it near Bhamo”. Seidenfaden therefore suggested that, if this note is attached to the correct sheet, the type locality would not be Moulmein/Mawlamyine but Bhamo. Clayton (2017) has made the K-sheet the lectotype but did not comment on this note attached to the duplicate at W.
