DistributionIndia, Myanmar

Type locality: Bhamo and hills to the east

Type locality: “Cachar” [longicaudatus]  
Reproductionoviparous (not imputed, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesSyntypes: MSNG 6642 (3 specimens), Bhamò, Burma (2 specimens) and Kakhien Hills, Burma (1 specimen), collected L. Fea, 1886. Two additional specimens, BMNH 1946.8.18.35-36 (formerly 89.3.25.18-19), Bhamò, purchased L. Fea, are listed there as types, but as the species was originally described from only three specimens (2 from Bhamò, 1 from Kakhien Hills, sent to Boulenger from MSNG), the BMNH specimens (registered in 1889, and purchased directly from Fea) are likely not part of the syntype series.
