Introduction

This is a very widespread species extending from the Philippines through Indonesia to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Fiji. It is also recorded from SE Queensland. Whether this distribution represents a single species or a multiple species complex requires further study. Other described species in the Oriental, Australasian and Pacific regions have more restricted distributions.
