Context 1

... Females of E. jabalpurensis seem closely related to the females of E. sohani as both share a hexagonal distal part of epigynal median septum and similarly shaped spermathecae, but can be separated from the latter by the narrow proximal part of epigynal median septum (which is comparatively wide in E. sohani) (compare Fig. 1B-C with Fig. 8E-F). This difference may be attributed to intraspecific variation and this species may be a junior synonym of E. sohani; however, confirmation requires the examination of the males of E. ...

... Males of E. shivajii are similar to the males of Evippa arenaria (Audouin, 1826) as both have a stout, bifid median apophysis, but can be distinguished from the latter by a claw-like prolateral protrusion of the median apophysis, which is straight in E. arenaria (compare Fig. 5C with Alderweireldt 1991: fig. 2.1). Females are similar to the females of Evippa aequalis Alderweireldt, 1991 in having balloon-like spermathecae, but can be separated from the latter by narrow proximal part of the median septum of the epigynum, which is comparatively wide in E. aequalis (compare Fig. 6A-C with Alderweireldt 1991: figs 3.4-5).

... of the synonymy. Gajbe (2004) described E. mandlaensis based on a female specimen collected in Madhya Pradesh. Detailed examination of the holotype showed no differences between this species and W. fidelis, a widely distributed species, which was previously recorded from India (Tikader & Malhotra 1980;Lu et al. 2016) (compare Fig. 10B-C with Kronestedt & Zyuzin 2009: figs 15, 17). Thus, we consider E. mandlaensis as a junior synonym of W. ...

... this species by Tikader & Malhotra (1980) is based on specimens collected by E. Simon from Pakistan. It is deviating from the epigynum of E. praelongipes illustrated by Alderweireldt (1991) and instead shows close resemblance with the female genitalia of E. rajasthanea (compare Fig. 3D with Alderweireldt 1991: fig. 5.4; Tikader & Malhotra 1980: fig. 137), indicating that Tikader & Malhotra (1980) misidentified the species (see also Armiach Steinpress et al. 2021). The specimens collected in Assam, Gujarat and Rajasthan (which has the type locality of E. rajasthanea), which are never illustrated and might be identified by comparison with the specimens from Pakistan, may also be that of ...

Tikader & Malhotra (1980: figs 121-124), a female specimen that has all the diagnostic features of Geolycosa Montgomery, 1904: anteriorly elevated prosoma, shape of epigynal median septum and shape and orientation of spermathecae (Fig. 11A, C-D). This indicates that the holotype female of E. banarensis may either be lost or misplaced elsewhere in the collection. ...
