Type species: Kapsa simlensis Dworakowska, Nagaich & Singh, 1978

Diagnosis: External features as nominotypical subgenus.

Male abdominal apodemes short, not or slightly exceeding 3rd sternite. Anal tube appendage usually well developed and hooked posterad.

Pygofer side with several fine setae at lower basal angle, appendage hooklike or knifelike, not bifurcated. Subgenital plate with 4–6 macrosetae marginally, usually increasing in size towards apex of plate. Paramere apex expanded, footlike or with second extension, sometimes forked. Connective similar to the nominotypical subgenus, but with distinct well sclerotized compressed apophysis at apex of lobe. Typical type of aedeagal shaft compressed, with dorsoapical denticuli and unpaired ventral process; sometimes without process.

Etymology. The subgeneric name is derived from the Latin word “rigidus”, referring to the sclerotization at the apex of the connective central lobe. Gender: feminine.

Distribution: India (Gulmarg, Mussoorie, Sikkim, Simla); Nepal (Katmandu Valley); China (Yunnan, Tibet).
