2. Oxyina javana ( Willemse, 1955)

This species is attributed to high altitudes in Java, Indonesia (3,678 m) and in Kashmir, India (1,850 m) ( Willemse 1955, Baba & Usmani 2021). However, it has been recorded for the first time at low sea levels in Bahawalpur, Punjab (117 m), and in Achro That Sindh (28 m). Hollis (1975) observed a close resemblance in O. bidentata , O. sinobidentata , and O. javana , indicating divergent evolution through geographical isolation. The recent discovery in these locations confirms the presence of this species at low sea levels.
