Distribution in India: South India (Coromandal coast).
Notes: Bostrychia harveyi has a wide, but discontinuous distribution, both in marine and freshwater habitats ( Nelson & Phillips 1996; Womersley 2003; West & Zuccarello 2006). The Indian record is based on the report of De Toni (1903) for a collection by Norstedt from Coramandal coast (Deccan Plateau, east coast in the Bay of Bengal) as “ad muscos in rivulis as <Coromandel> Norstedt”. The exact locality is however not known. Desikachary et al. (1998) commented “this freshwater and brackish water species has not been collected subsequently from the Indian region”. We are unaware of the specific location where Norstedt’s collections were made, as well as the European herbarium in which the original collections are deposited. Guiry& Guiry (2017) remarked that this species occurs mainly “under fresh-water influence in central Victoria and SE Tasmania ”. Day et al. (1995) considered B. harveyi as synonymous with B. scorpiodes , the type species of the genus Bostrychia . However, King & Puttock (1989) treated B. harveyi and B. scorpiodies as two different species, an opinion followed by Silva et al. (1996) and Zuccarello & West (2011) and adopted by us.
