Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: Vestalis gracilis is very widely distributed, occurring from eastern India to Viet Nam and Peninsular Malaysia. There are records from many parts of India (e.g. Fraser 1934, Lahiri 1985, Prasad and Varshney 1995, Mitra 1999), Bangladesh, Nepal (e.g. Vick 1989), Myanmar (e.g. Laidlaw 1914, Asahina 1970), Thailand (e.g. Laidlaw 1917, Asahina 1966), Peninsular Malaysia (e.g. Laidlaw 1931, Orr 2005), Cambodia (Asahina 1967), Lao PDR (Fraser 1933, Yokoi 1999) and Viet Nam (e.g. Fraser 1934; Asahina 1969, 1996; van Tol and Rozendaal 1995). Records from southern China appear to be incorrect (Wilson 2007).
