Type species. Phalangopsis pictipes Walker, 1869 Remark. The only species known in the genus has been successively transferred to the genera Arachnopsis Saussure, 1878 (= Arachnomimus Saussure, 1897 ) and Parendacustes Chopard, 1924 ( Chopard 1969: 248) .

Distribution. Hindustan.

Diagnosis. According to Chopard (1969): Size rather large. Fastigium as wide as the scape, convex dorsally. Eyes rounded, strongly protruding. Lateral ocelli rather large. Maxillary palpi long. Pronotum very strongly transverse, widening in front; dorsal disc feebly convex; lateral lobes almost triangular. Legs very long. TI with a small, inner tympanum. FIII filiform in nearly apical third. TIII very long; with four pairs of subapical spurs, strongly serrulated above and between subapical spurs; three inner and three outer apical spurs, the median the longest on both sides. Metatarsi very long; two rows of dorsal spines, three to four on inner side, six to seven on outer side. Male. FWs covering half of the abdomen. Stridulum complete: harp with oblique, parallel veins, mirror about as long as wide, crossed by three parallel, nearly horizontal veins. Other venation: chords elongate, close to each other, the chords 1 and 2 joining more distally; diagonal vein very short, very oblique; apical field very short. HWs lacking. Male genitalia (see Fig. 4.1– 3 in Gorochov 2003a): Pseudepiphallus without extended median process; largelly indented distally, on both sides of ectophallic fold; pseudepiphallic parameres distal, massive; ectophallic apodemes thick, slightly diverging; endophallic sclerite with three distal prongs, the median greatly longer than the laterals; endophallic apodemes as a pair of lateral laminas.
