- Amaurobius andhracus Patel & Reddy, 1990: 41, f. 1a–h (♂♀).
Comments
This species was described on the basis of both sexes from Andhra Pradesh (Fig. 17), but the description and figures are of poor quality. Judging from the figures of the male palp this species belongs in Titanoecidae. Judging from the colour, shape of the epigyne and its distribution, the species belongs to Pandava, a titanoecid genus restricted to India, Sri Lanka, southern China, Myanmar and Thailand. The type species of the genus has a broader distribution. Judging from the shape of the epigyne, this species may be a junior synonym of Pandava laminata (Thorell, 1878), the type species of the genus, known from East Africa to the Philippines and Marquesas Islands.
