Abstract

Draposa is a relatively newly described wolf spider genus numbering 11 species, out of which eight have been reported from India. A new Draposa species from Kerala, Western Ghats, India, is described, photographed and illustrated. The male palp of the new species is similar to that of D. lyrivulva distributed in Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka, but it differs by having the following combination of characters: shorter tegular apophysis with a narrow and linear tip, prominent sub-apical protrusion, and embolus parallel to tegular apophysis.
