Photo Gallery and Species Biology
This species has historically been known from the Himalaya and NE India to Indo-China, but not from the Andaman Islands (Evans 1932; Wynter-Blyth 1957). More recent records from Havelock Island and Port Blair (Mohanraj & Veenakumari 2011; BOI-aq376, BOI-aq377, and BOI-ce592) have extended the known distribution of the species in the Andaman Islands.
