Hippasa olivacea ( Thorell, 1887) View in CoL

Fig. 37 View FIGURE 37

Diapontia olivacea Thorell, 1887: 297 (juvenile).

Hippasa olivacea View in CoL — Pocock, 1900: 250 (♀). Gravely 1924: 593, fig. 1C (♀). Tikader & Malhotra 1980: 283, figs 83–84 (♀). Gajbe 2004: 4. Rao et al. 2005: 28. Bastawade 2008: 147.

Type material. Syntype (s) 1 ♀ and 1juvenile ♀ from MYANMAR: Pathein (= Bassein ) and Yangon (= Rangoon), date unknown, collector unknown, repository MNHN, not examined .

Distribution. Myanmar and India: Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telengana ( Thorell 1887; Pocock 1900; Gajbe 2004; Rao et al. 2005; Bastawade 2008) ( Fig. 37 View FIGURE 37 ).

Remarks. The World Spider Catalog (2022) record of H. olivacea , which is described from Myanmar, from India is probably based on Gravely (1924) and Tikader & Malhotra (1980). However, these authors never collected or examined specimens of H. olivacea from India; instead Tikader & Malhotra (1980) studied the types of this species, while Gravely (1924) examined non-type specimens from Myanmar. Even though Bastawade (2008), Gajbe (2004), and Rao et al. (2005) examined material from India, these authors never illustrated the genitalia of their specimens.
