Dysophylla stellata is widespread in Australia (Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia); Bangladesh; Bhutan; Cambodia; China (Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Zhejiang); Hong Kong; India (Assam, Bihar, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Sikkim, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal); Indonesia; Japan; Lao People's Democratic Republic; Malaysia; Myanmar (Myanmar (mainland)); Philippines; Sri Lanka; Taiwan, Province of China; Thailand; Vietnam so hopefully this is not the end of this species. On IUCN redlist it has been listed as Least Concerned for the time being. But ofcourse, a loss is a loss!! Little drops of water make the ocean and same ocean can dry up if you take little drops one after another. Thanks for sharing. Pankaj
