Comments. The type locality of this species is not clear. It was indicated as “Côte de Coromandel: Genji”, which most likely refers to south-eastern India. This species also has been mentioned from Kodaikanal, a locality in western part of Southern India (Tamil Nadu State). According to Simon (1906), it is most similar to S. bavarica C. L. Koch, 1843 and differs by the lack of a ventral black band and spination. Simon (1906) noted that “The presence of a true Segestria in India is very curious”. At the same time, he mentioned that juvenile specimens do not belong to Ariadna . So, there is a possibility that this species was introduced by humans.
