Note: The sutures between the coxae (indicated by straight lines) all point to a common center. • Coxal organization ''Bandakiopsis-like": with sutures between coxae pointing to a center in the anterior half of the genital field (Fig. 24). • C4 nearly rectangular in shape, with well-developed condyles. • IV-L-6 always with well-developed claws with ven- tral blade and clawlet. • Chelicerae with an uninterrupted and clearly con- cave ventral

Species included Bandakiopsis fonticola Smith, 1979 was described in both sexes from seepage areas in western North Amer- ica (British Columbia, Canada). The larva of this spe- cies is described by Smith (1982). A new, quite similar species Bandakiopsisphalntis'p. nov. (described below) was discovered in a seepage area at mount Phalut in the south-eastern Him^alayas (Darjeeling, India). Inventory (adults) DS/VS. VS and DS complete. DS with postocular setae and 6 pairs of glandularia; dorsal furrow with- out glandularia and with 4 pairs of slit organs. Eyes. Lenses on platelets anterior to the VS. Coxae. See definition. Cg4. See definition. Shape slightly different in males and females and between species. GF. C4 closely impending GF. Insertions of IV-L at level of GF. Sexual dimorphism: Relative length of GF greater in females. Ac. 3 pairs of Ac in two rows. Sexual dimorphism: In adult females the distance between the first and the second pair of acetabula reaches half the length of an acetabulum, while the third pair follows the second pair without a gap. In males all pairs of acetabula follow each other closely. I-L-6. With several small ventral setae and a long dor- sodistal hair. Always with well-developed claws with ventral blade and clawlet. IV-L-6. Similar to I-L-6, but claw with less-developed ventral
