Genus Indogarypus Beier, 1957

Remarks. The subgenus Indogarypus was erected by Beier (1957). However, he did not mention it in his paper on the Sri Lanka fauna (Beier 1973). Later, the Sri Lankan species Geogarypus ceylonicus was transferred to the subgenus Indogarypus by Murthy & Ananthakrishnan (1977). Harvey (1986) raised Geogarypidae to family status and recognized three genera, including Indogarypus, which was elevated to generic rank (Harvey 1986). However, Murthy & Ananthakrishnan’s (1977) transfer of G. ceylonicus to Indogarypus was not accepted by Harvey (1986), leaving Indogarypus monotypic. The specimens collected from L 10, L 11, L 19 and L 22 (4 ex.), correspond well to the description given by Beier (1973) for G. ceylonicus Beier, 1973 and all our mature specimens possess interno-lateral sulci on the pedipalpal chela, which is considered diagnostic for the genus Indogarypus (Harvey 1986) . Thus, G. ceylonicus is here transferred to Indogarypus .
