Some of them are shown here to give additional information on Mahemamersides boveyi. Genus: Nilgiriopsis Qook, 1967 [1 sp.] Typus generis: Nilgiriopsis imamurai Cook, 1967. Location of type: CNM (?). No material examined for this study Definition (adults) Characters of the Anisitsiellinae as defined above and: •CI - C3 projecting far anterior to the border of the body proper and CI with anteromedial edge sharply pointed. • Anterior end of DS pointed and flanked with a pair of glandularia, lying free in the integument. DS bearing five pairs of glandularia and a well-devel- oped ridge. • IV-L-6 without claws, flattened and with clearly serrate borders. Species included Nilgiriopsis imamurai Cook, 1967, reported with a single male specimen from a stream in southern In- dia (two miles west of Vayitri, Kerala state, India), is the only known species of the genus. Inventory (adult; male only) DS/VS. VS and DS complete. For DS see definition. Eye-region. No information given by Cook (1967). Coxae. See definition. Suture C3/C4 incomplete. Pos- terior border of C4 round. Anterior border of C3 con- cave and medial suture formed by C3/C3 and C4/C4 nearly as long as GR Cg4. Cg4 on C3 near suture C2/C3, in the same position as in most Bandakia (but there is no suture present which would separate off a medial portion of C3).. FIG. 67. Nilgiriopsis imamurai Cook, 1967
