Previous records. 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 j 4, j 5 and z 5 are also about 30 % shorter, although setae Z 1 and S 2 are about 20 % longer. Our measurements are similar to those reported by Ehara & Bhandhufalck (1977) for specimens from Thailand and Moraes et al. (2004 a) for a specimen from Sri Lanka.
