Figs 36–41, 72
Homalattus mus Simon, 1889: 335 (D ♀).

Type. Homalattus mus Simon, 1889: Holotype ♀ (NZC-ZSI 3556/10) from INDIA, Uttarakhand, Jaonsar, Siri (30.59854°N, 78.53740°E), 1750 m a.s.l., leg. R.D. Oldham.
Diagnosis. The species is similar to R. menglunensis Wang & Li, 2020 in epigynal morphology but can be differentiated by the orientation of the copulatory openings—the scletorized u-shaped margin, oriented along the longitudinal axis (crescent-like in R. menglunensis) (cf. Figs 37, 40 with fig. 14A in Wang & Li (2020)).

Eye measurements: AME 0.38, ALE 0.18, PME 0.05, PLE 0.14, AER 1.29, PER 1.93, EFL 1.27. Clypeus height 0.03. Chelicerae 0.52 long. Sternum oval, light brown. Chelicerae yellow-brown; labium and maxillae light brown. Legs yellowish brown (Figs 36, 38, 39). Abdomen yellow, without any pattern (Fig. 36); venter yellowish uniformly. Spinnerets yellowish.
