Similar to male. Nymphs and larva. Unknown. Habitat. All specimens were discovered in mosses and from detritus in mountain streams at an altitude of 3450-3500 Distribution. Known only from the region of the t}^pe locality. The 5 specimens were collected in two dif- ferent streams in Darjeeling (India). Derivatio nominis. The name refers to the shape of the palp. Discussion. The species is easily separated from the other members of the anisitsipalpis-^iowp by the eye- plates being medially fused. It differs from the other Indian species in the total length of the palp (333- 350 pm in B. curvipalpis Ytrsns 230-275 pm in the other Indian species) and in the slender P4 (Length- to-height ratio versus in the other Asian species). 58.
