Creators

Description

Oratemnus indicus (With, 1906)

(Fig. 5 D)

Chelifer indicus With 1906: 194 –196, fig 23, plate 4 fig 10a–d; Ellingsen 1914: 3. Oratemnus indicus (With): Beier 1932b: 60; Beier 1932c: 591; Beier 1973: 49.

Distribution. India (Tamil Nadu: Vellore, near Chennai (Madras); type locality); Sri Lanka.

Previous record. Sabaragamuwa Province: Maratenna (Beier 1973).

New records. Central Province: Matale district: L 29; Northwestern Province, L 22.

Remarks. L 22 specimens were found in leaf litter close to an irrigation canal. L 17 & L 29 specimens were found under bark of Jackfruit trees. All specimens are provisionally identified. The type from Vellore, Madras as well as Beier’s (1973) specimen from Maratanne need to be studied to confirm the identity of these specimens. It is possible that more than one species is involved, as the habitats are different and the localities are far apart.
