Abstract

A new species, Amaurobius koponeni sp. n., is described from Himachal Pradesh on the basis of a male specimen. A key to all five genera of Amaurobiidae that occur in Asia is provided. Four species from India and Nepal incorrectly assigned to Amaurobius are transferred to three genera of Titanoecidae: Anuvinda milloti (Hubert, 1973) comb. n., Pandava andhraca (Patel & Reddy, 1990) comb. n., P. nathabhaii (Patel & Patel, 1975) comb. n., and Titanoeca sharmai (Bastawade, 2008) comb. n.
