It belongs to the monotypic genus Ahmetia,[1] formerly known as Cowania (which actually refers to a tachina fly genus).[citation needed] It is sometimes assigned to the tribe Horagini, but it is more probably a member of the closely related Cheritrini.[citation needed] It is found in Thailand and Vietnam.[1]
