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.
This species has so far been recorded from Arunachal Pradesh within Indian limits.
