 Nawade near Muddapur (Maimvaring). 



The species is included here with some doubt. Benson alluded 

 to the fact that Blanford considered it an Ennea, but he regarded 

 it as having more affinity with Bidimus. He also stated that in 

 one of the specimens the parietal lamina was not apparent. 

 Hanley and Theobald observe that the type having been smashed, 

 and an imperfect photograph alone preserved, they cannot vouch 

 for the correctness of the figure. Although they do not expressly 

 state the fact, the natural inference is that their illustration has 

 been prepared from this photograph.
