Zoica parvula Thorell, 1895 . Diagnosis. Zoica appears closely related to Lysania (Lehtinen & Hippa 1979; Hippa & Lehtinen 1983) by having the male pedipalp without median apophysis and the distal origin of the embolus (Framenau et al. 2009). However, the genus can be differentiated by the small body size, the gently sloping cephalic area, uniformly yellow-brown to brown colour and by having shorter and strong stalks of the spermathecae of epigyne. Distribution. Bhutan (Buchar 1997), Borneo, Thailand , New Guinea (Lehtinen & Hippa 1979), India (Tikader & Malhotra 1980; Biswas & Roy 2008), Myanmar , Malaysia , Sri Lanka (Thorell 1895; Simon 1898; Lehtinen 1967; Lehtinen & Hippa 1979), Western Australia (McKay 1979), Northern Territory and Queensland (V.W.
