Treatment

Heterometrus keralaensis Tikader & Bastawade ,

1983

Heterometrus (Heterometrus) keralaensis : Tikader & Bastawade, 1983: 528; Kovařík, 1998: 137; Fet, 2000: 432; Bastawade, 2002: 295.

TYPE LOCALITY AND TYPE REPOSITORY. India, Kerala, Meenmutty, New Amaranbalan ; NZSI,

COMMENTS. I was unable to examine this species and had to include it in the key solely on the data published by Tikader & Bastawade (1983: 528–533). I believe it is related to H. thorellii Pocock, 1892 , from which it differs (apart from the characters given in the key) in having the dorsal surface of the chela reticulated.

DISTRIBUTION. India: Kerala (Tikader & Bastawade, 1983: 533), Maharashtra (Bastawade, 2002: 295) .
