It was collected immediately downstream of where the river enters Thailand from Myanmar and therefore its range is considered to extend into Myanmar. Recorded from Xishuangbanna (China) (Kottelat 1990) but this need confirmation since the species has never been collected in intermediate areas in Lao PDR.
