Remarks. The description and illustration of Paolia tangailensis agree well with the generic differentiation of Goifa except the aedeagus and connective were shown as separated. However, the aedeagus and connective are fused in the specimens of this species deposited in NWAFU (Figs 25, 26), and in specimens of the same species illustrated by Mann & Sohi (1993) (see Mann & Sohi 1993: Figs 8, 9). Therefore, a new combination is created here and a new synonym and is also proposed. The specimens of this species in NWAFU have a tooth near the apex of paramere (Figs 27, 28) that is not shown in the illustrations provided by Ahmed & Samad (1972) and Mann & Sohi (1993).

Distribution. China (Yunnan and Hainan Provinces), Pakistan, India.
