Nilus decoratus (Patel & Reddy 1990) comb. nov.

Fig. 18: 3

Pisaura decorata Patel & Reddy 1990: 37, figs 1a–d (description of female; holotype, female, and 1 female paratype from India, Guntur District, Valiveru, T.S. Reddy leg. 11XII.1986, NZSI, not examined as not available from the NZSI).

Note. Based on the female copulatory organ and the characteristic dorsal colour pattern of the body (Patel & Reddy 1990: figs 1a–d), this species clearly belongs to Nilus, as defined in this paper. The species seems to be close to N. paralbocinctus comb. nov. (cf. Jäger 2007: figs 44–46; sub Thalassius).
