Arctosa mulani ( Dyal, 1935) View in CoL

Pardosa mulani Dyal, 1935: 146 , plate XIII, figs 45–46. Transferred to Arctosa View in CoL by Tikader & Malhotra (1980: 373), though based on misidentified specimens.

Type material. Types (male and female) from PAKISTAN: Mojpur; collector unknown; 1928-29; repository unknown, probably Zoological Laboratory , Government College , Lahore , not examined. Neotype material (designated by Tikader & Malhotra (1980)): 2 males and 6 females from INDIA: Maharashtra: Satara: Near Pratapgad rest house; B.K. Tikader leg.; 26 March 1976; repository unknown, probably NZC-ZSI, Kolkata, not found. It may either be lost or misplaced elsewhere in the collection or may not have been deposited in ZSI.

Remarks. Dyal (1935) described A. mulani based on male and female specimens collected in Pakistan. Even though it was originally described under Pardosa C.L. Koch, 1847 , the illustration of the female epigynum ( Dyal 1935: fig. 46) clearly indicates it is a member of Arctosa . However, as mentioned above, Tikader & Malhotra (1980) and Lu et al. (2016) probably misidentified this species. Thus, the neotype designation by Tikader & Malhotra (1980) is doubtful and we herein consider A. mulani as a species inquirenda.
