reaching to the anterior of palpal segment II and inwardly directed. Coxal spurs of
H. warburtoni are stouter and stronger compared to H. garhwalensis.InH. warbur-
toni, all trochanters have crest-like spurs, while in H. garhwalensis only trochanter
I has a crest-like spur.
H. garhwalensis also shows morphologic relationship with H. pospelovashtro-

Overall body length is 2.20

Capitulum: In basis capitulum, the external expansion is unapparent. The cornua
are at least one-half as long as the base of the basis capitulum. The dental formula
of Nepal specimens is chiefly 4/4, as in those from China, but the anterior 5/5 or
6/6 elements are fewer than in those from China.
