Cambalida flavipes (Gravely, 1931) comb. nov.

Castaneira flavipes Gravely, 1931: 275, figs 20D–E (Generic name misspelled; description and illustration of ♂ and ♀ [Type (whether ♂ or ♀ is unspecified) from INDIA: Odisha (formerly Orissa): Ganjam: Chilka Lake: Barkuda Island; F.H. Gravely leg.; repository ZSI—NOT EXAMINED]).

Castianeira flavipes Tikader, 1981: 260, figs 5–8 (Generic name corrected; redescription and illustration of ♂ and ♀); Majumder & Tikader, 1991: 135, figs 276–281 (Redescription and illustration of ♂ and ♀).

Justification for the transfer. Gravely (1931) described this species based on male and female specimens. Later this species was redescribed by Tikader (1981) and Majumder & Tikader (1991). The original drawings and descriptive characters given by Gravely (1931: fig. 20D), Tikader (1981: figs 5, 7–8) and Majumder & Tikader (1991: figs 276, 278–279, 281) indicate that this species shares the characteristic features of Cambalida rather than Castianeira: broader carapace; prosoma, opisthosoma, legs brownish with some yellow bands; posterior eye row slightly larger than anterior; small dorsal opisthosomal scutum; palp without apophysis, with compressed, coiled embolus; vulva with spermatheca I (globular) and II (reniform) and copulatory ducts with median curving. Judging from this, it is clear that Gravely and the subsequent researchers misplaced this species within the genus Castianeira . Here we transfer this species from Castianeira to Cambalida .

Distribution. Southern and eastern India (Fig. 7).

Remark. The two Cambalida species described here have distal femoral constrictions on legs III and IV in both sexes (Figs 1K, 4K). This character is seen in many Australian Castianeirines (Raven 2015), but was not reported in recent revision of Cambalida (Haddad 2012) . It is, however, also found in all species of African Cambalida (Haddad, pers. comm.).
