Kurzia (Rostrokurzia) longirostris

Description

(93) Kurzia (Rostrokurzia) longirostris (Daday, 1898)

Indian records. Assam —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2008a, b); Andhra Pradesh — Chandrasekhar (2004 a, 2010) Karuthapandi et al. (2012); Bihar —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2001); Goa— Rane (2008); Maharashtra — Vanjare et al. (2010); Manipur —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2009a); Meghalaya —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (1999), Sharma S. (2010a); Tamil Nadu —Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988), Venkataraman (1995a), Hudec (2000), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2002, 2009); West Bengal — Swell (1935), Sharma B.K. (1978), Rajapaksa & Fernando (1986b), Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988), Khan (2003), Datta (2011); General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984), Sharma B.K. & Michael (1987), Murugan et al. (1998), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003).

Remarks. Valid (Rajapaksa & Fernando 1986b; Hudec 2000; Kotov 2004) species described from Sri Lanka (Daday 1898). Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003) listed Pseudalona longirostris Sars and Kurzia longirostris (Daday) as two separate species, although these are two name combinations for the same taxon.

Distribution. Widely distributed in Oriental and Australasian zones (Rajapaksa & Fernando 1986b, Maiphae et al. 2005; Tanaka & Ohtaka 2010), while a record from Guatemala (Rajapaksa & Fernando 1986b) seems to be dubious and could not be confirmed by subsequent studies (Elías-Gutiérrez et al. 2006).
