Habitat: This species prefers the lower course of rivers, sometimes in brackish conditions.

Distribution: On Mindoro: Localities no. 7, 8, 13, 16 and 18. Indonesia ( Flores, Sulawesi, and Sumba) and the Philippines.

Remarks:

Our specimens from Mindoro agree well with the original description of the type specimens by De Man (1892) [ 46]. This species seems more common than the previous one and has been abundantly documented from the Philippines for a long time (see Blanco, 1935 [ 48]; Estampador, 1937 [ 18]; 1959 [ 19]; Chace, 1997 [ 20]; Cai and Shokita, 2006 [ 12]; Cai et al., 2009 [ 13]).

This species has been assessed as Least Concern for the IUCN Red List (De Grave et al., 2013 [ 77]).
