Mishra and Dhanda (1975) described a new species Millardia kondana distinct from other three known species under genus Millardia  viz.,  gleadowi (Gujarat, Rajasthan and Pakistan), kathleenae (Myanmar) and most common Indian species meltada (India, Sri Lanka; E Pakistan and Terai region of Nepal) (Musser and Carleton in Wilson and Reeder, 2005). It differs from other species in having comparatively larger cranial and external measurements, possessing six well-developed planter pads, proportionately small ears, hind feet and bullae and long toothrow and diastema (Mishra and Dhanda, 1975).

Mishra and Dhanda (1975) described a new species Millardia kondana distinct from other three known species under genus Millardia  viz.,  gleadowi (Gujarat, Rajasthan and Pakistan), kathleenae (Myanmar) and most common Indian species meltada (India, Sri Lanka; E Pakistan and Terai region of Nepal) (Musser and Carleton in Wilson and Reeder, 2005). It differs from other species in having comparatively larger cranial and external measurements, possessing six well-developed planter pads, proportionately small ears, hind feet and bullae and long toothrow and diastema (Mishra and Dhanda, 1975).
