Anoplodesmus sabulosus — Attems, 1914: 206 (M); 1936: 209 (M); 1937: 106 (M); Verhoeff, 1930: 206 (D); Jeekel, 1965: 109 (M); 1968: 81 (M); Nguyen, 2010: 53 (M); Nguyen & Sierwald, 2013: 1277 (M). Remark: As A. sabulosus is known only from females, it is often cited as a “doubtful species” (e.g. Attems 1914) or simply omitted from regional checklists (e.g. Bano 1998a). It is sometimes referred to as endemic to Sri Lanka (De Zoysa et al. 2016).
