Type species by monotypy: Eugubinus araneus Distant, 1903.</p> <p>Falsogardena Villiers, 1948: 434. Type species Falsogardena annulata. Synonymized by Wygodzinsky (1966: 242).</p> <p>Remarks. The genus Eugubinus was proposed by Distant (1903a, b) on the basis of a single included species, E. araneus, which was described from two nymphs; the adult stage has remained unknown until now. Subsequently Distant (1915) described two additional species, E. reticolus and E. intrudans, on the basis of adults, but without giving a revised description of the genus. A detailed diagnosis of the genus was subsequently given by Wygodzinsky (1966) as follows: “first (visible) rostral segment at least as long as second; spined portion of fore femur occupying most of length of segment, fore femur with conspicuous spiniferous processes; fore wings very narrow, subbasal cell only one-tenth of length of discal cell; claws of mid and hind legs with conspicuous subbasal projection; fore tarsi three-segmented”. Our adult specimens of E. araneu s match with the above diagnosis, confirming our identification; a detailed description of the genus was also given by Wygodzinsky (1966). Eugubinu s at present includes nine species that are listed below.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AC87FAFFF2FF9A96C8AB448E4FEC54	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

India: syntype nymph, “Uran nr. Bombay E.H. Aitken 1900.16”, “ Eugubinus araneus Dist. ”, “Living in nest of spider Theridium ”, “NHMUK 0103586728” (Fig. 23); syntype nymph, same data except lacking the spider web data label, “NHMUK 0103586729”; both specimens deposited in BMNH.</p> <p>Additional specimens examined. India: Daund, Pune, trapped in spider web, 4.xi.2017, leg. P. Pansare (1 ♂ 1 ♀); Lonavala, Pune, 17.xi.2017, leg. B. Sarode (1 live ♂, 1 live nymph, 1 ♀ trapped in web); Aundh Road, xii.2017, leg. B. Sarode (one mutilated ♂ trapped in web); all preserved specimens deposited in MCASCP.</p> <p>Remarks. Distant (1903a) described Eugubinus araneus from an unspecified number of specimens with the following data: “Uran, near Bombay (Aitken, Brit. Mus.). Found living in nest of spider (Theridium sp.)”. Note: Gravely (1915) commented that it is unlikely to be a web of Theridiid and the spider must be Cyrtophora cicatrosa (Stoliczka, 1969) (Araneidae). Two specimens (nymphs) bearing this locality and collector data are present in the BMNH, including one with the spider web data. The syntypes compare fairly well with a nymph collected recently in Lonavala, Pune, India; the latter is therefore regarded to represent E. araneus, as is its associated adult.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AC87FAFFF1FF9C96C8AB078FFFE8DF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species was described from an unspecified number of specimens from “Calcutta; salt lakes below Chingrighatta” in India, from webs of Cyrtophora cicatrosa. A badly mutilated female syntype (lacking head and prothorax) and one topotypical nymph (Fig. 26) are located in BMNH. The dark apex of the hind femur is seen in both the adult female and the nymph, supporting recognition of the specimens as conspecific. Gravely (1921) recorded the species from Berkuda Island, Chilka Lake, Odisha. An adult and a nymph of E. reticolus were recently imaged in Tamil Nadu (Agarwal 2020a).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AC87FAFFFBFF9396C8AE308934E945	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
