Hi,

A very nice genus from the west of india.
T. truculentus shares same habitat and similar livestyle with Chilobrachys fimbriatus in the state of Goa.

Thrigmopoeus incia? Maybe Thrigmopoeus sp. ex India?

[ZergFront]

They are a burrowing species.



Wow, never would have guessed that with the pictures. Very pretty and long-legged.

[Larkin]

Thrigmopoeus incia? Maybe Thrigmopoeus sp. ex India?

Hi Martin,

"ex"?

Does it turn out to be one of the already described species or has been described as sp. nov. in the meantime?
