Abstract

ABSTRACT The genus Boagrius Simon, 1893, previously known only from Southeast Asia is recorded for the first time from the Western Ghats of India, thus extending its distribution to South Asia. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of both male and female of Boagrius tenuisus sp. nov. are provided. The record of Sarascelis raffrayi Simon, 1893 in India is found incorrect and confirmed its current distribution only in Singapore. Based on generic similarities, a provisional transfer of the species Palpimanus namratae (Pillai, 2006) to Sarascelis Simon, 1887 is proposed. http://urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E3B8D04D-88B2-4431-AF75-1CAB7B077275
