such, diagnostic value cannot be ascribed to this character, which appears to vary at the population level. Specimens of PS2 have a more consistent formula of the ultimate leg prefemoral spines (VL 3, VM 2, DM 1), but within the variability exhibited by putative species 3 are individuals that correspond exactly to the (more stable) state of putative species 2. The relatively pronounced setae on the legs are unique to this clade when compared to other Indian

. Within PS2, one of the two main clades identified by molecular phylogenetics (Joshi and Karanth 2012) has setae on the legs comparable to those more consistently shown by PS3, whereas the other clade within PS2 has less setose legs. The two clades within PS2 occur in different mountain ranges, geographically close to each other. This feature thus displays some geographic variation between populations of what appears to represent a single species, and prohibits making a clear-cut distinction between PS2 and PS3 on the basis of leg setation. The two putative species are sympatric in their distributions in some parts of their ranges, largely in the southernmost hill ranges of the Western Ghats.
