Remarks: Annandale and Chopra (1924) recorded this species in the stream at the entrance of the Siju Cave and 500ft. inside the Cave. The specimens we collected were close to the areas mentioned by Annandale and Chopra (1924). While the species is abundant at the Do·bak Khol stream that flows out of the Cave, they are fewer in number in the stretch of the stream that flows within it.
