Thanks Prabhu, for the information. I read the article in JoTT ( http://threatenedtaxa.org/ZooPrintJournal/2011/March/o245926iii111622-1623.pdf ) It is an interesting find. Congrats to VSR sir and his team. But I guess Gravely & Mayuranathan have collected it in 1926. I am not sure about that, though.
