Sosticus pawani Gajbe, 1993: 181 View in CoL , figs 1–5 (♀).

Urozelotes pawani Sankaran & Caleb, 2021: 551 View in CoL View Cited Treatment , figs 52–55, 57–58 (♀, transfer from Sosticus View in CoL ).

Type material. Holotype ♀, INDIA: Himachal Pradesh, Solan, Ragul Kalpa , 15 june 1970, leg. K.K. Mahajan, NZC-ZSI, Kolkata (no register number specified). Not examined.

Remarks. Gajbe (1993: 181, figs 1–5) and Sankaran & Caleb (2021: 551, figs 52–55, 57–58) showed the same characteristics of Xizangiana for this species such as abdomen with two white markings anterolaterally, two white markings medially, several chevron-like, white stripes posteriorly, and two longitudinal black stripes ventrally. Epigyne has a wide scape with a distal dent, atrium almost trapezoidal, transversal folds relatively many, posterior parts of the lateral folds chevron-like, secondary spermathecae small, and primary spermathecae globular-shaped, large. Moreover, the type locality of this species is in Himalaya, same as all known Xizangiana species except X. xiangbi sp. n. ( Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 ). All these indicate that Urozelotes pawani ( Gajbe, 1993) should belong to Xizangiana .

Distribution. India ( Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 ).
