LECTOTYPE. ZSI 5162 , designated by Annandale (1913).

TYPE LOCALITY. Kachh Prov., South-east of Sind, between the eastern branches of the Indus and Kathíwár [S Pakistan or NW India].The lectotype designated by Annandale (1913) remains valid despite the later lectotype designation made by Szczerbak & Golubev (1986).

DISTRIBUTION. Pakistan, India, Iran.

DISTRIBUTION IN IRAN. Fig. 38 View FIGURES 38–43. 38 . The only known record from Bushehr is considered doubtful by many authors ( Anderson 1999; Rastegar-Pouyani et al. 2008; Sindaco & Jeremčenko 2008). The species has never been confirmed from Iran again and is claimed that it might have been introduced there.

HABITAT. No information for the Iranian specimen available. In Pakistan reported from hard rocky terrain where it lives in cracks and holes in the ground and also colonizes nearby houses ( Khan 2006).
