De Silva (1990) only states Jaffna as the known distribution of this species in Sri Lanka. Lastly, this species is known from False Island, off the Arakan coast of Myanmar (Sharma 2003). However, only two specimens have been reported in the last 120 years, the distribution may therefore have changed significantly since the original distribution was recorded.
