Olpium ceylonicum Beier 1973: 43 View in CoL –44, fig 6.
Distribution. Sri Lanka.
Previous records. Eastern Province: Kuchchaveli (type locality); Western Province: Colombo, Ja-Ela ( Beier 1973).
New record. Western Province: Kalutara District: L 4.
Remarks. Collected by tree beating from a low country evergreen forest patch in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. This specimen, a male, is in a bad condition, making identification difficult. We tentatively identify it as O. ceylonicum due to its characteristic carapace length/width ratio of 1.2 (vs. 1.4 in our specimens of O. jacobsoni ).
