As typical salaminia occurs throughout the Indo-Australian region 

 from Ceylon and India to Queensland and the Pacific Islands, it seems 

 probable that this is a high elevation rather than a geographical race — 

 or possibly even a very closely allied species. Typical salaminia is not, 

 however, represented in coll. Joicey from Dutch New Guinea.
