Description
Trachusoides simplex Michener and Griswold
This inhabitant of Western Ghats is rarely encountered. It has been known only from the holotype female from Karnataka State, India. Here two specimens, one only 40 km from the type locality, the other extending the range south to the adjacent state of Tamil Nadu, are recorded. The latter specimen differs slightly from the type in the presence of a poorly defined, oval, yellow integumental marking in the lower paraocular area.
New record. 1 female, “S. INDIA: Mysore State [Karnataka], Coorg Distr. Mercara [Madikeri] 4000ft. V 1973 Nathan” (SEMC); 1 female, “S. INDIA Nilgiri Hills, Devala [Tamil Nadu] V- 61 P.S.Nathan Collector” (AMNH).
