Previous records.Cosmopolitan, including Thailand(Provinces of Chachoengsao, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Ehara & Bhandhufalck, 1977).
Remarks.The females examined are slightly smaller than the holotype(dorsal shield about 10% shorter), considering the measures given by Moraes & McMurtry (1983). Setae j4, j5and z5are also about 30% shorter, although setae Z1and S2are about 20% longer. Our measurements are similar to those reported by Ehara & Bhandhufalck (1977)for specimens from Thailandand Moraes et al. (2004a)for a specimen from Sri Lanka.
