Abstract

Habrocestum mookambikaense Sudhin, Sen, Caleb & Hegde, 2022 was originally described based on the female holotype from Karnataka. Here, a description of the male is provided for the first time, along with a female redescription based on fresh collections from Northern Western Ghats (Satara and Sindhudurg district, Maharashtra). The new locality lies about ∼430 km northward from its previously known record indicating that the species is more widely distributed than previously thought. Detailed illustrations of the species, including digital color images and a map showing the distribution of all Indian Habrocestum species are provided.
