Cosmophasis undulata Caleb & Karthikeyani, 2015: 97 , figs 1-10. Remarks: This species was described from Maharashtra State , from the male holotype only. It was originally placed in Cosmophasis due to resemblance in palp morphology. However, the general body color pattern is clearly different, resembling that of a few members previously placed in Phintella . We propose to place this species in the recently erected genus Phintelloides since it shares a synapomorphic character, i.e. the presence of a short white moustache on the clypeus, along with other characters such as a pale white band behind the anterior eye row, abdomen with a yellowish brown median band and two lateral whitish bands, and the palp with a comparably longer, more slender embolus, the tegulum with a small posterior lobe and a tegular bump, the RTA broader at its base and narrowing apically, with a hook-shaped tip (see Caleb & Karthikeyani, 2015 : figs 1, 3, 6, 9). Thus we are convinced that its transfer to Phintelloides is fully justified.
