This is a species complex consisting of three similar species Zeheba aureata, lucidata and marginata; collectively the Zeheba lucidata complex. These species are best told apart by genitalia and phylogeny. Currently, the Himalayan populations are treated at aureata, while the populations from SE Asia are treated as lucidata.
