Notes. The genus Leptopholcus View in CoL has been revised recently ( Huber 2011); it has a wide distribution in tropical Africa and Asia ( Huber 2011, Huber et al. 2014a, 2018). All known representatives are leaf-dwellers. Only two species seem to occur in Sri Lanka: the widespread and possibly introduced L. podophthalmus ( Simon, 1893) View in CoL , and the Western Ghats-Sri Lankan endemic L. kandy Huber, 2011 View in CoL . The two species are easily distinguished in the field: L. kandy View in CoL has a long worm-shaped abdomen (as in most species of Leptopholcus View in CoL ), L. podophthalmus View in CoL a relatively short one (compare Figs 42, 45 View FIGURES 42–46 ). Leptopholcus podophthalmus View in CoL is a phylogenetically isolated species ( Eberle et al. 2018) that ranges from Sri Lanka to southern China and Singapore. Leptopholcus kandy View in CoL is most closely related with the Southeast Asian L. borneensis Deeleman-Reinhold, 1986 View in CoL and L. huongson Huber, 2011 View in CoL ( Huber 2011; Eberle et al. 2018).
