Dendrolycosa bobbiliensis ( Reddy & Patel 1993) comb. nov.

Figs 39–40

Pisaura bobbiliensis Reddy & Patel 1993: 181 , figs 1–6 (Description of female; holotype, female, from India, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Bobbili District, Vijayanagaram, T.S. Reddy leg. 25.IX.1985, NZSI, not examined).

Diagnosis. Medium sized spiders with body length of 17.3 mm and colour pattern A. Since no exact details can be recognised from the original description ( Reddy & Patel 1993; Figs 39–40 ) and the type material could not be borrowed, no further diagnostic characters can be given. The shape of epigynal and vulval structures let suggest a possible synonymy with D. robusta , although an anterior vulval pocket is not shown ( Reddy & Patel 1993: fig. 4).

Description. See Reddy & Patel (1993).

Distribution. Known only from the type locality.
