Indian records. Manipur —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2009a); Tamil Nadu — Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2002, 2009); Suresh Kumar & Altaff (2002a); General record— Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003).

Remarks. Valid species described from Asian Russia ( Sars 1898). Indian populations need to be revised.

Distribution. Widely distributed in Asia, present in South Africa. “Probably the name S. vetuloides has been misused for other species” ( Orlova-Bienkowskaja 2001).
