Type material. Female holotype from INDIA : Himachal Pradesh : Chamba : Kilar ( 33°05’02.67’’N , 76°24’25.68’’E ), 2744 m alt.; Raj Tilak leg.; 5 September 1974 ; repository NZC-ZSI, Kolkata (4673/18), examined . Diagnosis. Females of E. solanensis are similar to the females of E. shivajii as both have a pentagonal distal part of epigynal median septum, but can be distinguished from the latter by short proximal part of epigynal median septum, which is long in E. shivajii , and proximally narrow spermathecae, which are nearly uniform in diameter in E. shivajii (compare Fig. 9B–C with 6A–C). Supplementary description. Female ( holotype , Fig. 9A ). Body length 5.59. Prosoma length 2.61, width 2.16. Opisthosoma length 2.98, width 1.82. Eye diameters: ALE 0.12. AME 0.14. PLE 0.29. PME 0.32. Eye interdistances: ALE–AME 0.04. AME–AME 0.07. PLE–PLE 0.64. PLE–PME 0.43. PME–PME 0.36. Chelicerae length 1.02. Clypeus height at ALE 0.22, at AME 0.20. Measurements of palp and legs. Palp 3.32 [1.08, 0.64, 0.64, 0.96], I ---, II ---, III --- [2.48, 1.02, 2.08, 2.45, ---], IV --- [3.50, 1.25, 3.06, 3.92, ---]. Genitalia as in Fig. 9B–C . Male . Unknown. Remarks.
