“…But it is on record that "at their southern end, the Eastern Ghats form several ranges of low hills. The southernmost of the Eastern Ghats are the low Sirumalai and Karanthamalai hills of southern Tamil Nadu (Jayakumar et al 2008;Sankar et al 2009). Another anomaly is that the Sirumalai receives most of its rainfall (1,200-1,320 mm) in the months of October-December (North-east or Winter Monsoon) which is very similar to coastal Tamil Nadu (Blasco & Legris 1972;Mehr-Homji 1974).…”

“…Later, Wight (1834) published it as C. globosa. Since then it has not been recollected from any of the hill ranges in the Dindigul District (Fyson, 1932;Kottaimuthu, 2014;Kottaimuthu & Vasudevan, 2012;Matthew, 1999;Pallithanam, 1957Pallithanam, , 2001Ramachandran, 1998;Ramachandran & Vijayalakshmi, 2011;Ravikumar, 1993;Sankar et al, 2009;Sriganesan, 1984;Subramanyam & Henry, 1959). Moreover, it is represented by only a few collections in herbaria including the predominantly older collections (Ansari, 2008;Vajravelu & Daniel, 1983).…”

The genus Crotalaria, commonly known as ‘rattle pods’, is one of the more prolific genera in Fabaceae Lindl., with about 690 species distributed throughout the tropics. In India, the genus is represented by 93 species and in Tamil Nadu 53 species, of which five entities are endemic to Tamil Nadu: C. digitata Hook., C. fysonii var. glabra Gamble, C. globosa Wight, C. kodaiensis Debb. & Biswas. and C. ramosissima Roxb. var. ramnadensis A.A. Ansari. In connection with the documentation of legumes of Dindigul District for a doctoral dissertation by the first author, a few interesting specimens of Crotalaria were collected from Batlakundu and Ottanchathram hill ranges of Dindigul District. Critical study with relevant literature has confirmed it as Crotalaria globosa Wight. The type specimens, housed in the online herbaria of Kew and Edinburg, were also studied to ascertain identity of species.

This study presents a comprehensive catalogue of the moniligastrid earthworms (Moniligastrida, Moniligastridae) of the world. A total of 176 valid species/subspecies belonging to 5 genera are known to exist in this primitive family. Drawida is the speciose genus with 147 species/subspecies. Of the various moniligastrids, three species of Drawida are considered as peregrine outside its normal Asian range. Among the valid species, occurrence of 30.68% are known only from the type locality. It is noteworthy that the types of 125 (71.02%) species are currently known to exist in various repositories around the world. The existence of the remaining species can only be inferred from the literature since their types are either non-existent, missing, dried out, or lost. Present catalogue includes valid scientific names, synonyms, type locality, type respository details along with registration number, geographic distribution pattern within its native range, and references.
