Thelcticopis maindroni Simon, 1906: 295 View in CoL , fig. 2 (♂). Tikader & Sethi 1990: 184, figs 50–51 (♂).
Type material. Holotype ♂, INDIA: Tamil Nadu: Coonoor, Nilgiri Hills [ca. 11°22’N, 76°46’E; 1936 m a.s.l.], November 1904, M.M. Maindron leg. ( MNHN 17289 About MNHN ); not examined as the type was not available for the present study). GoogleMaps
Distribution. India (Tamil Nadu) ( Simon 1906) ( Fig. 27 View FIGURE 27 ).
Remarks. Interpreting the illustration of the male palp given in Simon (1906: fig. 2) and in Tikader and Sethi (1990: fig. 51), and considering the same size (PL 6.0 in T. maindroni , 5.9 in T. rufula ), the similar pattern on the dorsal opisthosoma and the close vicinity of both type localities, we strongly suspect this species could be a junior synonym of T. rufula , but its type material must be compared directly against the holotype of T. maindroni , which was not available for this study, neither was topotypic material available.
