Remarks.

We were unable to examine the type of Makdiops agumbensis comb. n. From the description and illustrations ( Tikader 1969), it is impossible to tell whether or not it is valid, or whether it is indeed a unique species. However, the description suggests it is a species of Makdiops rather than Selenops , viz,tibiae I and II have 4 pairs of ventral spines, the epigyne has large epigynal pockets, and the genital openings are located behind a sinuous margin ( Tikader 1969; fig. 2).
