Figs 12–13 Sphingius kambakamensis Gravely, 1931: 271 , fig. 19D; Majumder & Tikader, 1991: 154 , figs 326–329. Type material. Syntype Ƌ from INDIA : Andhra Pradesh : about 50 miles north-west of Chennai : Kambakam Hills ( 13°34’03.5’’N , 79°50’29.1’’E ), 609–702 m ( 2000–2500 ft ) a.s.l., leg. F.H. Gravely , 28–31 August 1922 , deposited in NZC-ZSI (no register number), examined ( Fig. 12F ) . Justification of the transfer. Detailed examination of the syntype of S. kambakamensis Gravely, 1931 revealed that the pedipalp of this species is similar to that of the corinnid genus Cambalida Simon, 1909 , as illustrated for C. deorsa Murthappa, Prajapati, Sankaran & Sebastian, 2016 and C. tuma Murthappa, Prajapati, Sankaran & Sebastian, 2016 (compare Figs 12 C–E, 13A–C with Murthappa et al. 2016 : figs 2A–C, 3A–C). Based on these observations, we propose to transfer S. kambakamensis to Cambalida . Diagnosis. This species seems very close to C. deorsa , but can be separated from the latter by its embolic tip, which is slightly curved, while in C. deorsa it is straight (compare Fig. 13 B–C with Murthappa et al. 2016 : figs 2C, 3C). Remarks. The ZSI collection has one glass bottle for this species labelled as “ Type ” (5753/H2) containing a male specimen in fairly good condition, with broken legs. Both of its pedipalps are remained detached, but only the left one is found inside the bottle.
