Megascolex travancorensis travancorensis Michaelsen, 1910 should be Megascolex travancorensis travancorensis Michaelsen, 1910. Section 3.9 in line 3 registration number: DHSGV-ZDM-H004 should be ZSI CZRC T/21 as the type specimens for this novel species have been transferred to the nationally designated repository of India. Section 3.10. Megascolex triangularis Stephenson, 1925 should be Megascolex triangularis Stephenson, 1925. Section 3.11. line 3 registration number: DHSGV-ZDM-H005 should be ZSI CZRC T/22 as the type specimens for this novel species have been transferred to the nationally designated repository of India.
