Diagnosis.
This species can be separated from other congeneric species by having the hook-shaped copulatory duct and spermatheca.
Description. Female
(IZCAS-Ar. 18973): Total length 5.30. Prosoma 2.40 long, 2.00 wide; opisthosoma 2.75 long, 1.50 wide. Carapace yellow with sparse gray scales. Fovea longitudinal. Ocular area grayish black with grayish white scales. Endites and labium brown; chelicerae yellow. Chelicera with 2 pro- (1 large, 1 small) and 1 small retromarginal teeth. Legs yellow with long spines. Leg measurements: I 8.50 (2.40, 3.00, 2.10, 1.00); II 7.75 (2.20, 2.80, 1.90, 0.85); III 6.15 (1.90, 2.10, 1.50, 0.65); IV 6.45 (2.00, 2.00, 1.70, 0.75), leg formula: 1243. Opisthosoma dorsally with white net-like spots; laterally with grayish black spots; venter with a grayish black marking mesally.

Remarks.
In the specimens we examined, the
epigynum
and the net-like white patches on the abdomen were the same as those of Tikader’s
type
. Although the specimens we examined had a shorter body length (5.00–6.60) than the Indian
holotype
(8.00), we believe they are the same species.
The opisthosoma does not have longitudinal stripes and is not as slim as in
Oxyopes
, and the
epigynum
has similar structures to those of
Hamataliwa
. Therefore, we transfer this species from
Oxyopes
to
Hamataliwa
(also see the diagnosis of
Hamataliwa
:
Deeleman-Reinhold, 2009
: 677
).
Variation.
