Fomichev, Alexander A. & Marusik, Yuri M., 2020, Notes on the spider genus Segestria Latreille, 1804 (Araneae: Segestriidae) in the East Palaearctic with description of three new species, Zootaxa 4758 (2), pp. 330-346 : 344

Segestria sp.

Figs 3C , 4B, F , 12B .

Material examined: 1 juv, INDIA, [IN-11] Himachal Pradesh, Kothi Vill. and environs, 32°18.9’N, 77°11.70’E, 2300–2600 m, 29.05– 8.06.1999 ( YM).

Comment. A subadult female has been collected from under the bark of a coniferous tree together with some specimens of Plator Simon, 1880 . It is very unlikely that our specimen can be conspecific with S. inda due to a rather large distance (over 2000 km) between southern India and Himachal Pradesh and the differences in altitude.
