==Distribution== ''S. carbunculus'' is found in north and northeast India, Nepal and possibly Myanmar, and seems to be restricted to the Himalayas and connected ranges in Myanmar. It has also been recorded from Laos, Cambodia and China, but these records have not been confirmed or may actually refer to other species such as ''Sagra odontopus''.<ref name=CPC/><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Sekerka|first1=L.|last2=Geiser|first2=M.|year=2016|title=Sagrinae of Laos (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)|journal=Entomologica Basiliensia et Collectionis Frey|volume=35|pages=443–453|doi=10.5169/seals-980963|doi-access=free}}</ref>
