The species is widespread in southeast Asia. It is recorded from Viet Nam (Dong Nai, Kien Giang, Khanhs Hoa and Ho Chi Minh City), Lao PDR, Thailand (Bangkok, Sriracha, Pak Nam Poh, Khao Sabab, Songkhla, Sai Yok, Khao Yai, Tamai (Chantaburi), Udorn Thani, Chantaburi, Doi Suthep, Ayuttaya, Si Racha Reservoir (Chongburi), Huey Kaeo, Thung Yai, Hua Hin), Cambodia (Roland et al. 2010), Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, India, southern China, and Indonesia. It is also reported from Japan and northern Australia (e.g. Cairns, Queensland), but the latter records require confirmation. Not all parts of the species range (e.g., India, southern China) have been mapped due to a lack of available records.
