New Caledonia (type locality of Doto racemosa), Papua New Guinea.Etymology
Latin racemosa, "clustered, in racemes."Remarks
Treated here as Doto cf. racemosa because Doto contains many cryptic species that are virtually indistinguishable on external colour pattern alone; firm identification requires anatomical or molecular data.References
