Remarks:
Records from Sumatra are doubtful (Murphy 2007).
There is a single, 19th century record from Borneo (Sarawak) (Stuebing, Inger & Lardner 2014), but presence there today needs confirmation.
Reports from Kalimantan (e.g., Iskandar & Colijn 2001; Lang 2011) are considered questionable herein.
Murphy (2007) questioned the presence of violacea in Timor.
It was reported from East Timor by Portuguese explorers, but the specimens collected in the island were lost in a fire,
hence a confirmation would be welcomed, although still assumed to be present in the island, following Lang (2011).
Distribution:
East Timor,
India
(Andaman Islands),
Malaysia
(West Malaysia),
Myanmar,
Singapore,
Thailand.
