After Beddome (1864: 180), pulneyensis and wynandensis "..differ from the typical form of this genus in their much smaller size and in the absence of a supraorbital shield. As, however, they have the same compressed tail, I prefer keeping them in this genus to making a new genus for them." Distribution South India (Palni and Travancore hills, 5,000-7,000 feet). Type locality: "Pulneys at an elevation of 7,000 to 8,000 feet". [Plectrurus pulneyensis Beddome] Type locality: "High Wavy mountain, Madurai district, 5000 feet elevation".
