Exothorhis justicia Roy, Gupta and Saha species inquirenda

Exothorhis justicia Roy, Gupta and Saha, 2006: 307

Remarks

Exothorhis justicia was described from only one female and differentiated from the male of E. nadiaensis (female unknown) by differences in distances and shape of dorsal body setae and leg tarsal claws. This species was illustrated having one more dorsal body seta (c 3) which is not characteristic for the genus Exothorhis (13 pairs of opisthosomal dorsal setae present in all Exothorhis species). Therefore, the identity of this species is considered a uncertain and doubtful. Hence, E. justicia is suggested as species inquirenda.
