Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species is reported from Myanmar (Tenasserim River) and Thailand (Brandt 1974). Brandt (1974) reported this species in Thailand from a reservoir of Uthong, and from the Klong Rapipat and the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace in Ayutthaya Province, however the species apparently has a much wider distribution, with presence reported from the Mekong watershed in northeastern Thailand; Ubolratana Reservoir, Khon Kaen Province (Kittivorachate and Yangyuen 2004), from the mouth of the Songkhram River (Vongsombath et al. 2009), and the Lam Ta Khong reservoir, Nakhon Ratchasima Province (Tesana 2002).
Pham (2002) reports the species from the Mekong delta in southern Viet Nam, noting that it is found widely in estuaries and coastal areas of the Mekong delta and is likely to be present in Cambodia, as well as in Lao PDR; these recent records require confirmation. A report from Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India (Janaki Ram and Radhakrishna 1984) is considered unlikely.
