, Alagarkovil Hills, Bellary Fields.
Remarks:
This species seems to be the only representative of the primarily Afro- and Neotropical family
Spirostreptidae
that has been recorded from
India
. Both other component species of the genus are restricted to central and eastern Africa (cf.
Krabbe 1982
), whereas
M. importatus
has definitely been introduced to
India
, although its native area remains unknown.
