Abstract

Hydaticus (Prodaticus) bipunctatus bipunctatus has previously been reported from two other States of North East India - Sikkim (Mukherjee and Sengupta, 1986) and Manipur (Mukhopadhyay and Ghosh, 2003). Therefore, the present report of the species from Meghalaya makes it the 3rd state in this region where the distribution of this species has been confirmed.
