Chaetotaxy of genua II and III as in female. Previous records. India , Indonesia , Papua New Guinea and Thailand (Provinces of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Samut Sakhon, Ehara & Bhandhufalck, 1977 ). Remarks. Measurements of the female examined are similar to those of the original description. However, the macrosetae of the genu and tarsus of leg IV are about 15% shorter and that of the tibia is about 30% shorter than the holotype . Measurements of the female and males here reported are similar to those reported by Ehara & Bhandhufalck (1977) for specimens from Thailand .
