Distribution in India. India (Spaeth, 1914c); Assam (Sibsagar, Bhalukpong, Umrongso – Maulik, 1919; Borowiec, 2001); Jharkhand (Konbir – Maulik, 1919); Karnataka (North Kannada, Belgaum, Shimoga, Mysore, Coorg – Maulik, 1919; Takizawa, 1987; Borowiec, 2001); Meghalaya (Shillong; West Garo Hills, Tura – Basu, 2000a; Borowiec, 2001); Nagaland (Naga Hills – Maulik, 1919); Sikkim (Kimoto, 1981); Tamil Nadu (Kallar, Kumili, Nilgiri Hills, Mettupalayam – Maulik, 1919; Takizawa, 1985b, 1986; Borowiec & Takizawa, 1991; Borowiec, 2001); Tripura (Jampui – Agarwala & Bhattacharjee, 2012); Uttakharand (Dehradun – Sekerka & Świętojańska, 2024); West Bengal (Darjeeling, Kolkata, Siliguri, Buxa Tiger Reserve – Maulik, 1913; Raychaudhuri & Saha, 2014; Ghosh et al., 2023).
General distribution. Oriental (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam) and Palaearctic (Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, Pakistan) (Borowiec, 1999; Świętojańska, 2001; Borowiec & Świętojańska, 2024; Sekerka & Świętojańska, 2024).
Remarks. The identity of Aspidomorpha dorsata has recently been revised due to a previous misinterpretation of the type material (Sekerka & Barclay, 2014). The taxon previously identified as A. dorsata (as per Świętojańska, 2001) is now recognized as A. calligera Boheman, 1854 (Sekerka & Świętojańska, 2024).
