Comments . The type locality of this species is not clear. It was indicated as “Côte de Coromandel: Genji”, which most likely refers to south-eastern India . This species also has been mentioned from Kodaikanal, a locality in western part of Southern India ( Tamil Nadu State ). According to Simon (1906), it is most similar to S. bavarica C. L. Koch, 1843 and differs by the lack of a ventral black band and spination. Simon (1906) noted that “The presence of a true Segestria in India is very curious”. At the same time, he mentioned that juvenile specimens do not belong to Ariadna . So, there is a possibility that this species was introduced by humans.
