This species was earlier known from SE Tibet, S. China, N. Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam (Ek-Amnuay 2012; Inayoshi 2017; Io 2000). The images on Butterflies of India (BOI-cs676 and BOI-cs677, published here on 2018/01/14; and BOI-ct549 and BOI-ct550, published here on 2019/12) represent the first record of the species from Bhutan and the E. Himalaya. This was followed by sightings near Tarin-Tiibe Khoke Pass, Pange, Talle WLS, Arunachal Pradesh (images BOI-eb155 and BOI-eb156, published here on 2019/12/15), which confirm the occurrence of this species in India, and represents an addition to the butterfly fauna of India.
