Heteropanope glabra — Davie, 1989: 130–134, figs.1a–j, 2; Tan and Ng, 1994: 84 (list); Ng et al., 2008: 140 (list); Naderloo and Türkay, 2012: 37 ; Naderloo et al., 2013: 449, tab. 1; Trivedi et al., 2015: 1–5, figs. 1, 2; Naderloo, 2017: 307, figs. 26.10d, 26.15, 26.16; Trivedi et al., 2018: 59 (list). [For complete synonymy see Davie, 1989: 130; Sakai, 1976: 503; Dai and Yang, 1991: 377].

Type locality. Hong Kong .

Material examined. 4 males (CW 14.4–6.0 mm: CL 10.1–4.0 mm), 6 females (CW 12.3– 7.2 mm: CL 8.3– 5.4 mm), LFSc.ZRC-66, Ghogha (21°40’41”N 72°17’06”E), Gujarat State, India, 14 April, 2014, coll. J. Trivedi.

Remarks. The specimens examined in the present study ( Fig. 6 ) agree with the description and figures in Davie (1989). The G1 tip ( Fig. 10D, E ) is slightly longer compared to that figured in Davie (1989). This difference can easily be explained by the size of the present specimens.

This species is so far reported from East Africa, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Pakistan, India, Andaman Sea, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mergui Archipelago, Singapore, Australia, and New Caledonia ( Sakai, 1976; Davie, 1989; Dai and Yang, 1991; Trivedi et al., 2015; Naderloo, 2017).
