Notes. For synonymy and redescription, see Huber (2012: 65). This species was first reported from “ Ceylon ” by O. Pickard-Cambridge (1869) (under the name Pholcus distinctus ). Further “ Ceylon ” records without locality specification were published by Karsch (1891) and Pocock (1900) (in both cases under the name Smeringopus elongatus ). Only two previous authors have published specific localities: Sherriffs (1919) reported the species from Nawalapitiya [7.05°N, 80.53°E]; Kraus (1957) from Peradeniya [7.27°N, 80.59°E].
