Type locality. Karachi, Pakistan ( Simon 1897c; Sankaran et al. 2018).

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

Records from India. Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Karnataka, Kerala, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal ( Gravely 1931; Majumder & Tikader 1991; Rao et al., 2015; Sen et al. 2015; Dhali et al. 2017; Sankaran et al. 2018).

Distribution. Bangladesh, India, Pakistan ( World Spider Catalog 2021).

Remarks. Gravely (1931) recorded this species for the first time from India. This species was redescribed and well-illustrated by Sankaran et al. (2018), based on type and non-type material. The distribution of this species in Bhutan and Maharashtra (Tikader 1981) is wrong, and is due to the misinterpretation of Simon (1897c) and Gravely (1931).
