摘要:
Medmassa Simon, 1887 is recorded for the first time from India, including the description of two new species: M. sagax Tripathi, Kadam & Sankaran sp. nov. (male female) and M. postica Kadam, Tripathi & Sankaran sp. nov. (female). The discovery of Medmassa increases the number of known corinnid genera in India to eight. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of the copulatory organs of both species are provided, their natural history is briefly discussed, and a map of the currently known distribution of both species is presented.
