This is a well-marked species. The clasp somewhat resembles 
that of phillippina, but is perhaps nearer to puspa or nedda in so 
far as that the inner angle (soft process) instead of sloping away 
is fairly produced; the terminal spine is large and sharp, those 
below it are mere notches—smaller and smaller as they recede, to 
the number of six or eight. The dorsal process has a ventral 
spine. 
There is a specimen in the British Museum labelled singalensis, 
Khasia Hills. This may be one of the specimens mentioned (from 
the Nilgiri Hills) by de Nicéville, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 108, and adds 
oreas to the Indian fauna unless there be some error in labelling, 
which I see no reason to suspect.

The clasps are broad and short, like phillippina, oreas and ripte, 
but are larger, and the spine is larger than in ripte, having large 
and bold teeth, and as long as the width of the clasp. The dorsal 
process has a small accessory on its ventral side. 
14. ripte H. H. Druce, P. Z. 8. 1895, p. 574, pl. xxxi. fig. 11. 
In form of clasp this species is very near to placidula, excepting 
that the spinous process is well developed, not only extending
