Distribution (from Dharma 2023) The distribution of M. tessellata in Indonesia is from the Riau Archipelago in the north, south to Bangka and Belitung Islands, the waters of East Lampung, the Sunda Strait, the Java Sea between Java and Kalimantan, and east to the Kangean Islands and northern Bali. Its easternmost location can be found north of Banggai Island in the Banggai Islands, Central Sulawesi. From the Bangka Belitung Islands to the Riau Archipelago, M. melo and M. tessellatus occur sympatrically, but relatively few specimens of M. melo have been found compared to M. tessellatus. The presence of M. tessellatus or M. melo in southern India and Sri Lanka requires confirmation. [details]
