Elevation 80 - 200m
Abdomen 19-20mm

Location Chitwan 

Inside the buffer zone at Chitwan National Park, a small jungle stream is found next to a path not far from the elephant camp. This species was found in the brush next to the stream. It is the only sighting I have had of this species in Nepal, and when I returned I couldn't find it again. It is common throughout Southeast Asia and Northeast India. The sighting was in April when both males and a few females were present but no photos of females were taken.
