Type locality. Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu, India ( Simon 1885; Paul et al. 2018).

Type repository. MNHN ( Paul et al. 2018) .

Records from India. Kerala, Tamil Nadu ( Reimoser 1934; Paul et al. 2018; Caleb 2020).

Distribution. India, Sri Lanka ( World Spider Catalog 2021).

Remarks. This species was redescribed and well-illustrated by Paul et al. (2018), based on non-type material. The record of this species from West Bengal, India is wrong as the illustrated species has procurved PER ( Majumder & Tikader 1991: fig. 302) and thus not a member of Coenoptychus that has recurved PER ( Paul et al. 2018).
