Material examined. - 1 female, “ Singapore, 1897, Biro” ( TDMB). ( Guignot, 1956a; Brancucci, 1983). Not seen.
Distribution. – India, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, West Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia [Java, Sumbawa, Timor] ( Brancucci, 1983).
Ecology. – A lentic species restricted to forested areas. In West Malaysia the species was collected from shallow and shaded, more permanent forest pools in primary and second growth (older rubber plantations) lowland forest. The bottom consists of mud and a thick layer of rotten leaves. Probably the species still occurs in the Swamp Forest of Nee Soon.
Remarks. – We have not found this species in our survey and it is perhaps extinct in Singapore.
