03C487C4FFE42E30FF3AFC1AFE04510F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Females of E. jabalpurensis seem closely related to the females of E. sohani as both share a hexagonal distal part of epigynal median septum and similarly shaped spermathecae, but can be separated from the latter by the narrow proximal part of epigynal median septum (which is comparatively wide in E. sohani) (compare Fig. 1 B – C with Fig. 8 E – F). This difference may be attributed to intraspecific variation and this species may be a junior synonym of E. sohani; however, confirmation requires the examination of the males of E. jabalpurensis.	en	Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T.

Evippa rajasthanea seem closely similar to E. praelongipes as both have a long median apophysis and epigynum with a long median septum, but can be distinguished from the latter by the following combination of features.

Justification of the synonymy. Gajbe (2004) described E. mandlaensis based on a female specimen collected in Madhya Pradesh. Detailed examination of the holotype showed no differences between this species and W. fidelis, a widely distributed species, which was previously recorded from India (Tikader & Malhotra 1980; Lu et al. 2016) (compare Fig. 10 B – C with Kronestedt & Zyuzin 2009: figs 15, 17).

03C487C4FFE92E3CFF3AF808FB6C5417.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species was described based on a male specimen (O. Pickard-Cambridge 1871). In India, it was reported to occur in Assam, Gujarat and Rajasthan (Tikader & Malhotra 1980). The female epigynum illustrated for this species by Tikader & Malhotra (1980) is based on specimens collected by E. Simon from Pakistan. It is deviating from the epigynum of E. praelongipes illustrated by Alderweireldt (1991) and instead shows close resemblance with the female genitalia of E. rajasthanea (compare Fig. 3 D with Alderweireldt 1991: fig. 5.4; Tikader & Malhotra 1980: fig. 137), indicating that Tikader & Malhotra (1980) misidentified the species (see also Armiach Steinpress et al. 2021). The specimens collected in Assam, Gujarat and Rajasthan (which has the type locality of E. rajasthanea), which are never illustrated and might be identified by comparison with the specimens from Pakistan, may also be that of E. rajasthanea. All these make the record of E. praelongipes in India doubtful. The NZC-ZSI collection has two glass tubes labeled as E. praelongipes. A tube (7749 / H 2) contains one female specimen in bad condition. The same tube has a small glass vial without genitalia. A second tube (7749 / H 2) contains one dried female specimen and a female prosoma. The label in this tube mentions the collecting locality as Kuchh, which is in Gujarat. We were unable to confirm whether these specimens are of E. praelongipes or not due to their bad condition.	en	Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T. D., Sebastian, Pothalil A.

Agarwal (Agrawal?) leg.; 7 July 1967; repository NZC-ZSI, Kolkata (4643 / 18), not examined. Male allotype with same data as the holotype, examined.	en	Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T. D., Sebastian, Pothalil A. (2021): Notes on Indian wolf spiders: I. Genus Evippa Simon, 1882 (Araneae: Lycosidae Evippinae). Zootaxa 4975 (1): 159-175, DOI: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.4975.1.6
03C487C4FFE82E3CFF3AFC16FAD551FA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The holotype tube (4643 / 18) for this species in the NZC-ZSI collection contains, instead of an Evippa species as illustrated in Tikader & Malhotra (1980: figs 121 – 124), a female specimen that has all the diagnostic features of Geolycosa Montgomery, 1904: anteriorly elevated prosoma, shape of epigynal median septum and shape and orientation of spermathecae (Fig. 11 A, C – D). This indicates that the holotype female of E. banarensis may either be lost or misplaced elsewhere in the collection. The tube with the register number ‘ 4644 / 18 ’ contains one bad specimen and since this tube is labeled as allotype, we presumed that it is the male of E. banarensis (Fig. 11 B), but with lost pedipalps. The genitalia originally illustrated for E. banarensis seem extremely similar to the genitalia of E. rajasthanea by having a retrolaterally oriented long median apophysis of pedipalp and a long median epigynal septum, with short disto-lateral extensions and W-shaped posterior border (compare Fig. 3 B – D with Tikader & Malhotra 1980: figs 123, 125). It can be separated from the latter species only by slight differences such as apically pointed median apophysis without any retrolateral process (median apophysis of E. rajasthanea with smoothly rounded apex and with a retrolateral process) and diverging spermathecae (E. rajasthanea with parallel spermathecae, compare Fig. 3 B, F with Tikader & Malhotra 1980: figs 123, 125). These differences, however, may be attributed to intraspecific variations or due to poor illustrations lacking details and the species E. banarensis may be a junior synonym of E. rajasthanea; however, confirmation requires the examination of type or topotype material of E. banarensis.	en	Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T.

Chaper leg.; date unknown; repository MNHN, Paris (6995), not examined.	en	Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T. D., Sebastian, Pothalil A. (2021): Notes on Indian wolf spiders: I.

03C487C4FFE82E3FFF3AF8B4FB5056E0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The title of the paper in which Simon (1885) described E. rubiginosa mentions the collecting locality of this species as ‘ Wagra-Karoor près Gundacul’, which can be the present day ‘ Vajrakarur near Guntakal’ and is currently located in the Anantapur district in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, and not in the Bellary district in the Indian state of Karnataka. Gravely (1924) and Tikader & Malhotra (1980) mentioned the type locality of this species as Guntakal, in Andhra Pradesh. Even though Tikader & Malhotra (1980) illustrated the female genitalia of the syntype of this species, it is highly schematic, lacking diagnostic details to identify this species. The NZC-ZSI collection has one glass tube labeled as E. rubiginosa (7703 / H 2) collected in Naga Hills district (formerly Samaguting = Samagooting) of Assam by Godwin-Austin (? Godwin-Austen) (see also Gravely 1924). The tube was found empty and the specimen may either be lost or misplaced elsewhere in the collection. The current taxonomic placement of this species remains unchallenged until the examination of its type or topotype material.	en	Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T. D., Sebastian, Pothalil A.
