Restricted to southwestern China and Tibet.
Generally rather rare and local, and consequently poorly known. There is
still controversy as to whether syfanius represents a full species
or only a well differentiated western subspecies of P.
bianor. Quite variable even from the same locality in the amount
of white on the hingwing.
