Mallinella karubei Ono, 2003: 136 , figs 14–18; description of ♂

Remarks. This species is placed in the sciophana -group on the basis of its male palpal structure in which the complicated TA has three elongated processes ( Ono 2003; figs 15–17). Mallinella karubei is separated from other species by the bifid basal process, as well as the mesolateral process being slender and terminally bifid. It is worth mentioning that the male holotype has a distinctive opisthosomal pattern which is lacking in other species collected in Sumatra.
