It occurs in Assam, Western Ghats,Visakhapatanam, in hill streams near Jeypore in Orissa, streams of South Canara, Travancore and Anamalai Hills (Subramanyam 1962). The species is seen in Coimbatore and Tirunelveli of Tamil Nadu (Kumar 1987).The species is recorded from Pune and Satara districts of Maharashtra (Jadhav 2001).
