Geographic distributions of taxa demonstrated to be ‘out-of-India’ by molecular studies (i.e. ‘out-of-India’ taxa demonstrated solely by taxonomic and/or palaeontological studies are not included). Numbers represent the numbers of species in each geographic area. Bold numbers represent modes. See electronic supplementary material, table S5 for the list of species and genera used, and their geographic ranges.
