Abstract

Pterobryopsis kegeliana (Müll. Hal.) M. Fleisch., so far known from Pachmarhi and the Western Ghats in India, and P. scabriuscula (Mitt.) M. Fleisch., known from the Western Ghats, Sri Lanka and Thailand (?), are recorded for the first time in the Eastern Ghats. A perusal of literature revealed that Meteorium scabriusculum Mitt., the holotype of P. scabriuscula, collected by Law from Concan, presumed to be a place in Thailand by Noguchi refers to only the present-day Konkan region in Peninsular India. Hence, the distribution of P. scabriuscula is amended here. Detailed descriptions with figures and photographic plates are provided.
