Polymerurus magnus Visvesvara, 1963 View in CoL
Records from India. MAHARASTRA: Nagpur— Visvesvara (1963) ; GENERAL RECORD: Naidu & Rao (2004).
Habitat (as in Indian records). Freshwater; shallow parts of a tank.
Distribution. Known only from India.
Remarks. The species was found only once. The description was based on five specimens, which according to the author ( Visvesvara 1963) differ from P. nodicaudus in virtue of the larger body size and the major length of the body spines (improperly called bristles). Schwank (1990) considered the species to be provisionally valid, although the synonymy between the two species seems to be likely. In our opinion further data are needed to confirm or disprove the current status of this species.
