Remarks. Our specimens probably represent the first record in Sabah of this widely distributed species. It may not be a surprise since it has been recorded in other parts of Borneo and in the Philippines. We however now also know that this species tends to be found on tree trunk and foliage.

Distribution. Sumatra [ type locality], Borneo (Kalimantan, Sarawak), Philippines.
