Abstract
A new genus and species of araneoid spiders, Bharatasoma eskovi gen. et sp. n., are described based on the holotype female from Himachal Pradesh, northern India. The new genus resembles the Neotropical genus Chthonos Coddington, 1986 (Theridiosomatidae) by having tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi of legs I and II armed with prolateral row of stiff (i.e., not flexible) setae forming catching basket, and some other shared characters. The new genus has several characters unknown in other theridiosomatid genera and therefore is placed conditionally in this family. Distribution limits of Theridiosomatidae in the Northern Hemisphere are briefly discussed.
基于印度北部喜马偕尔邦的全型雌蜘蛛，描述了一新属和新种——Bharatasoma eskovi gen. et sp. n.。新属与新热带属Chthonos Coddington, 1986 (theridiodoromatidae)相似，具有小腿I和II的胫骨，跖骨和跗骨，并具有形成抓篮的前排僵硬(即不灵活)刚毛，以及其他一些共同特征。该新属具有其他蓟藓属所不知道的几个特征，因此有条件地归入该科。简要讨论了飞蛾科在北半球的分布范围。
