 Confined to Borneo. 

 This species according to Fruhstorfer is merely a 

 mountain form of E. nigrescens, however it is by no 

 means confined to mountains, as it occurs at Labuan and 

 Kuching as well as on Mts. Mulu and Kina Balu and I 

 prefer to look upon it as a distinct and good species.
