Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species is known from eastern Assam, northern Mizoram and Meghalaya in northeastern India, from Chittagong and Rangamati Hill-district in Bangladesh, and from the Bago Yoma Mountains and Tenasserim, in Myanmar (Bourret 1942). It is also reported from adjacent western Thailand (Nabhitabhata 1989), in Thong Pha Phum district and Sang Ksla Buri district, Kanchana Bui Province. An old record from central Viet Nam might be based on a misidentified specimen (Bourret 1942: 315) and is not included here. It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest, especially in areas between known sites. In Thailand it has been recorded from 600-700 m asl, but in India it is known only from below 500 m asl.
