DISTRIBUTION. India (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu) ( Pocock, 1893a: 299; Tikader & Bastawade, 1983: 280, Fet & Lowe, 2000: 150) (Kerala) (first record), Sri Lanka ( Pocock, 1900: 48).
COMMENTS. In their description of Isometrus sankariensis, Tikader & Bastawade (1983) distinguished I. thurstoni on the position of trichobothrium db. My examination of the lectotype reveals the position of that trichobothrium in their Figs. 796 and 797 on p. 279 to be incorrectly drawn. It is situated between trichobothria dt and et and not between et and est. Specimens in my collection that I considered to be I. sankariensis (see Kovarik, 1994: 201) are immature females of I. thurstoni .
