Comment: The original description of Medon sutteri is based on a male holotype and seven paratypes from the " Insel Sumba" ( SCHEERPELTZ 1957). An examination of the aedeagus of the above male paratype revealed that it is conspecific with the type material of Acanthoglossa hirta . For recent records from the Yemenitic island Socotra see ASSING (2012). The vast distribution of A. hirta ranges from the Middle East across the Himalaya, India, and Sri Lanka to Indonesia (Sumatra, Sumba).
