Holobus hystrix ( PACE 1985) , nov.comb.

Hypcyphtus hystrix PACE 1985: 84 .

C o m m e n t: The original description is based on a single female from Mussoorie district, northern India. A spermatheca is not illustrated, suggesting that it is not sclerotized in this species. According to the drawing of the habitus ( PACE 1985: figure 28), the pronotum is only weakly transverse and not much broader than the head, and the abdomen is wedge-shaped, suggesting that the species belongs to Holobus . In Cypha species the pronotum is generally strongly transverse and much broader than the head.
