The paper below showed that "Cyrtarachne keralensis" is a synonym of Anepsion maritatum:

Malamel, J.J., Sankaran, P.M., Joseph, M.M. & Sebastian, P.A. 2015. Cyrtarachne keralensis Jose, 2011 is a junior synonym of Anepsion maritatum (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1877) (Araneae, Araneidae). Zootaxa 4039(3): 478-482.

This is definitely Anepsion maritatum (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1877). See Tanikawa & Yamasaki (2019) & these iNaturalist observations:
