Remarks. This species was previously reported from Laos (Huaphenne Province) by Bucsek (2020). Here, we report it from the Champasak Province for the first time. Although the specimens from Laos exhibit two distinct forewing patterns and wingspans, there is no difference in the structure of genitalia. Further studies are needed.
