Torrenticola
(
Torrenticola
)
cf.
turkestanica
(
Sokolow, 1926
)
Records from the study area: Uttaranchal—Pešić
et al
. (2007b).
Remarks: Because some important characters such as the shape of the ejaculatory complex and the ventrodistal projection of P-
2 set
off from the ventral margin were lacking in the original description (
Sokolow 1926
), attribution of specimens from
India
and
Thailand
to
T. turkestanica
is provisional, based mainly on the approved non-identity with the alternative species (Pešić
et al
. 2007b,
Pešić & Smit 2009a
).
Habitat: Streams.
Distribution:
Turkmenistan
,
Tadjikistan
,
India
