(101) Notoalona globulosa ( Daday, 1898)

Indian records. Andaman & Nicobar Islands — Venkataraman (1992d, 2000a); Bihar —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2001); Goa— Rane (2008); Kerala — Rajapaksa & Fernando (1987c), Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988), Subhash Babu & Thomas (2007); Orissa — Rajapaksa & Fernando (1987c); Madhya Pradesh — Rajapaksa & Fernando (1987c); Maharashtra — Rane (2002); Manipur —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2009a); Meghalaya —Sharma S. (2010a); Rajasthan —Sharma R. et al. (2011); Tamil Nadu — Rajapaksa & Fernando (1987a), Michael & Sharma (1988); Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2002, 2009); West Bengal —Sharma B.K. (1978), Mandal (1980), Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988), Venkataraman & Nandi (1997), Khan (2003); General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984), Sharma B.K. & Michael (1987), Murugan et al. (1998), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003).

Remarks. Valid taxon ( Rajapaksa & Fernando 1987c) described from Sri Lanka ( Daday 1898). Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2002, 2009) erroneously represented in their checklist both Notoalona globulosa (Daday) and Indialona globulosa (Daday) as two separate taxa, which are two different names indicating the same taxon (see Van Damme et al. 2010). Appears in Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988) as Indialona , hence the correct genus name Notoalona did not appear in most Indian literature.

Distribution. Widely distributed in the Oriental and Afrotropical zones ( Rajapaksa & Fernando 1987c), yet similar forms are found in the Neotropical zone (Elías-Gutiérrrez et al. 2006, 2008).

Oxyurella longicaudis Birge, 1910

Indian records. Rajasthan —Sharma V. et al. (2012).
