In subtropical Asia, A. gracilipes ranges up to 26-27oN in northern
India, southern China, and southern islands of Japan. I found only six
records from latitudes >27o
, two from exterminated urban populations
(Auckland, New Zealand; Brisbane, Australia) and three from probably
temporary populations (Valparaíso, Chile; Durban, South Africa; Zayul,
Tibet). The sixth population, on Amami-Oshima Island, Japan, may or
may not be temporary
