Only known from the type locality in Thailand, Saraburi Province, Muang District, Sriwilai Cave Temple, 14°41'40"N, 100°54'34"E. The unique holotype was collected under a rock at the base of a limestone hill.

Remarks.

This species is easily distinguished from congeners by its strikingly snow-white anterior pleurotergites and antennal tips, contrasting with a generally dark brown body (Fig. 24). The record of Sinocallipus cf. simplipodicus from southern Laos (Shear et al. 2003) may refer to this or a morphologically similar species (Stoev et al. 2008).
