Trigoniulus corallinus — Shelley and Lehtinen, 1999: 1389 (L, M); Jeekel, 2002: 35 (M); Jeekel, 2001c: 72 (L); Enghoff et al., 2004: 35 (R); Enghoff, 2005: 90 (R); Likhitrakarn et al., 2015a: 179 (R).

New material: 3 males, 1 female (CUMZ), Myanmar, Mandalay Region, Mandalay District, Apache Cement Factory, 20˚52′03″N, 96˚23′30″E, 358 m a.s.l., 0 7.10.2016, leg. C. Sutcharit, W. Siriwut and R. Srisonchai.

Records from Myanmar: North Chin Hills; Sagaing Division (Sagaing Region) (Shelley and Lehtinen 1999); Rangoon (Voges 1878; Golovatch and Korsós 1990); Pyinmana, north of Tungoo; Tharrawaw on Irrawaddy; Rangoon; Moulmein; southern Tenasserim; Great Coco Island, Andamans; (Teike Kyee) Taikkyi (Pegu); Malewoon (Pocock 1893); King Island; Owen Island (Pocock 1889). The male lectotype of Iulus corallinus and one female and two juvenile paralectotypes, all from the Mauritius Island, Indian Ocean, are kept in the Paris Museum (Shelley and Lehtinen 1999).

Remarks. This is a pantropical anthropochore species very common even on remote islands (Shelley and Lehtinen 1999; Jeekel 2001c). It seems to be native to Southeast Asia, most likely interior Myanmar and Thailand (Shelley and Lehtinen 1999). Authorship and date of the original description has recently been discussed in Jeekel, 2002.
