03D26B579F759954FF48FED0FE60FF3A.taxon	description	VARIABILITY: This species shows some variability in certain genital structures, such as size of the rounded swelling on the paracymbium, and shape and density of the fringed margin of the embolus (see Tanasevitch & Saaristo, 2006). Nevertheless the shape of the distal part of the lamella characteristica is consistent enough and is a good, well-visible character to distinguish this species.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.

Female unknown. TAXONOMIC REMARKS: The new species appears to be most similar to H. crassipalpis (Caporiacco, 1935) known from the Karakorum (Caporiacco, 1935; Thaler, 1987), but differs well by the larger size and by the unequal posterodorsal outgrowth of the cymbium, as well as by the claw-like distal part of the embolus, and also by the shape of the serrated lobes of the radical part of the embolic division. The new species clearly differs from H. japonica (Oi, 1964) (see Wunderlich, 1983), the only congener that also occurs in the Himalayas, by the shorter and wider lobes of the embolic division. VARIABILITY. Details of the both palps in both males examined look identical.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V. (2011): Linyphiid spiders (Araneae, Linyphiidae) from Pakistan and India.

Legs yellow. Leg I 1.73 long (0.50 + 0.15 + 0.38 + 0.37 + 0.33), IV 1.72 long (0.52 + 0.17 + 0.43 + 0.35 + 0.25). Chaetotaxy 1.1.1.1, length of spines about same as diameter of segment or a little longer. TmI 0.32. Metatarsus IV without trichobothrium. Palp (Figs 81 - 85): Tibia dorsally deeply divided by a narrow cleft into two parts. Paracymbium simple, U-shaped. Distal suprategular apophysis weakly sclerotized, relatively short, wide and rounded, with a pale thin tooth near it base. Median membrane well developed, protruded forward, distally extended. Radical part of embolic division flat, elongated. Embolus thin, long and coiled, with a narrow membranous edge. Abdomen 0.80 long, 0.55 wide, grey. Female unknown. FIGS 81 - 85 Tapinocyboides bengalensis sp. n., Ƌ holotype. (81 - 83) Right palp, retrolateral, prolateral and dorso-prolateral views, respectively. (84) Palpal tibia, dorsal view. (85) Distal suprategular apophysis and median membrane. TAXONOMIC REMARKS: This new species is probably not congeneric with the type species Tapinocyboides pygmaeus (Menge, 1869) because it has no “ lamella ” sensu Merrett (1963) in the embolic division and no sulci on the male carapace. Therefore so it is assigned to this genus only provisionally. In the absence of a female, and / or other possible congeners, the taxonomic position of this species is unclear.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.

Legs pale brown. Leg I 1.88 long (0.55 + 0.20 + 0.45 + 0.38 + 0.30), IV 2.06 long (0.60 + 0.20 + 0.55 + 0.43 + 0.28). Chaetotaxy 1.1.1.1, spines weak, their length about same as diameter of segment or a little longer. TmI 0.44. Metatarsus IV without trichobothrium. Palp (Figs 89 - 94): Patella as long as cymbium, with a row of uniform short spines dorsally. Tibia strongly modified: elongated, slightly sigmoid, with several outgrowths different in size and shape. Paracymbium small and narrow, L-shaped. Distal suprategular apophysis long and wide, flat, apically pointed and bent 90 º. Radical part of embolic division relatively large and flat. Embolus long, curved, with a notch near it base. Abdomen 0.78 long, 0.50 wide, pale grey. Female. Total length 1.38. Carapace 0.68 long, 0.53 wide, unmodified. Chelicerae 0.23 long, unmodified. Leg I 1.64 long (0.48 + 0.20 + 0.38 + 0.30 + 0.28), IV 1.76 long (0.50 + 0.20 + 0.45 + 0.35 + 0.26). TmI 0.43. Abdomen 0.80 long, 0.55 wide. Epigyne and vulva (Figs 95 - 96): Ventral plate of epigyne long and narrow. Receptacles spherical, far apart from each other. Body and leg coloration, as well as chaetotaxy, as in male. TAXONOMIC REMARKS: The new species seems to be most similar to the Holarctic T. aestivus (L. Koch, 1872) and can be easily distinguished by the structure of the embolic division: in T. incisus sp. n. the loop of the embolus is almost orthogonal to the main axis of the palp, whereas in T. aestivus the loop lies almost in the same plane; there are also other small differences in the shape of the palpal tibia and the embolic division. The female differs by the shape of the ventral plate of the epigyne: in T. aestivus the ventral plate is triangular, in T. incisus sp. n. it is as a narrow transversal stripe. RANGE: Himalayan.

TAXONOMIC REMARKS: In the shape of the paracymbium the species is similar to the representatives of the genus Paracymboides gen. n., but the structure of the embolic division is quite different and very peculiar, and this character does not allow to place T. indianus sp. n. in that genus. The absence of a corresponding female or of a related species makes the systematic position of the species unclear. Its placement in the genus Tiso Simon, 1884 is thus only provisional.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V. (2011): Linyphiid spiders (Araneae, Linyphiidae) from Pakistan and India.

03D26B579F519970FF48F99AFCDBFFB1.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION: Male (holotype). Total length 2.30. Carapace 1.08 long, 0.75 wide, modified as shown in Figs 105 - 107, pale orange-yellow. Chelicerae 0.30 long, unmodified. Legs pale orange-yellow. Leg I 2.81 long (0.83 + 0.25 + 0.73 + 0.60 + 0.40), IV 2.94 long (0.83 + 0.23 + 0.83 + 0.65 + 0.40). Chaetotaxy 2.2.1.1, spines very thin, their length about same as diameter of segment or a little longer. TmI 0.53. All metatarsi with a trichobothrium. Palp (Figs 109 - 113): Tibia sickle-shaped, dorsal surface bearing a group of short stout bristles. Paracymbium small, L-shaped. Distal suprategular apophysis distally narrow, claw-shaped. Radical part of embolic division fusiform, with a large conical outgrowth near base of embolus. Embolus relatively short, curved to a semicircle. Abdomen 1.15 long, wide, 0.75, grey. Female. Total length 2.33. Carapace 1.08 long, 0.80 wide, unmodified. Chelicerae 0.35 long, unmodified. Leg I 3.11 long (0.90 + 0.30 + 0.83 + 0.65 + 0.43), IV 3.29 long (0.92 + 0.28 + 0.88 + 0.78 + 0.43). TmI 0.45. Abdomen 1.15 long, 0.78 wide. Epigyne (Fig. 108, 119): Aperture fully covered by tapered ventral plate, with a transversal wrinkle posteriorly. Receptacles oval, well visible on both sides of ventral plate. Body and leg coloration, as well as chaetotaxy, as in male. VARIABILITY: The shapes of the male carapaces in the holotype and the paratype are slightly different (Fig. 105 cf. Fig. 107). TAXONOMIC REMARKS: The epigyne bears some resemblance to that of the representatives of the subgenus Wideria Simon, 1864, sensu Wunderlich (1972), but the embolic division shows similarities to that of the subgenus Prosopotheca Simon, 1884.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.
