Remarks. Described from Switzerland ( Jurine 1820). The Indian record needs to be checked, probably, they belong to M. vietnamensis Silva-Briano, Dieu & Dumont, 1999 . Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003) listed Macrothrix laticornis (Fischer) in their checklist, but the author was represented in the wrong way.

Distribution. M. laticornis s.str. is "reliably known from most of Europe, and extending east across most of temperate Asia, with outlying populations occurring as far as Central Nepal " ( Silva-Briano et al. 1999).
