Indian records. Andhra Pradesh — Chandrasekhar (1998b); Assam — Biswas (1980), Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2008a,b); Bihar —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2001); Jammu & Kashmir— Brehm (1936), Akthar (1972), Balkhi (1987), Parveen (1988), Siraj et al. (2006); Manipur —Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (2009a); Meghalaya — Patil (1976), Biswas (1980), Michael & Sharma B.K. (1988), Sharma B.K. & Sharma S. (1999), Sharma S. (2010a, b); Tripura — Venkataraman & Das (1995b), Venkataraman & Das (2000); West Bengal — Chandrasekhar (1998a), Sinha & Khan (2000), Khan (2003), Patra et al. (2011); General record— Fernando & Kanduru (1984), Sharma B.K. & Michael (1987), Murugan et al. (1998), Raghunathan & Suresh Kumar (2003).

Remarks. Valid species described from the United Kingdom ( Baird 1834). Populations worldwide need to be revised ( Sinev 2009).

Distribution. Smirnov (1971) discussed A. harpae as a cosmopolitan taxon, but in reality this is a complex of cryptic species. South American harpae -like poupaltions belong to a separate species, A. tupinamba ( Sinev & Elmoor-Loureiro, 2010) . Presence of A. harpae s.str. in any tropical regions is doubtful.
