Cosmopolitan, including Thailand (Provinces of Chachoengsao, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Ehara & Bhandhufalck, 1977 ). Remarks. The females examined are slightly smaller than the holotype (dorsal shield about 10% shorter), considering the measures given by Moraes & McMurtry (1983) . Setae j4 , j5 and z5 are also about 30% shorter, although setae Z1 and S2 are about 20% longer. Our measurements are similar to those reported by Ehara & Bhandhufalck (1977) for specimens from Thailand and Moraes et al . (2004a) for a specimen from Sri Lanka .
