2. Parnenus cuspidatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 14, 14a-d, ¢.) 
Type, d, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 9 millim. 
Dried example. Carapace deep brown, the cephalic area clothed with greenish scales and with a spot of pure 
white scales between the posterior lateral eyes ; a broad lateral band of white scales, attenuate in front, 
runs from behind the lateral anterior eyes to the posterior margin. The clypeus, the base of the 
mandibles, and the anterior half of the marginal rim of the carapace clothed with pure white scales; the 
lower side of the marginal rim and the femur and patella of the palpus with white scales. Abdomen dull 
brown, clothed with golden-greenish scales, with a broad marginal band of white scales, meeting in front 
and extending almost to the spinners; sides with scattered white hairs and scales; ventral area brown, 
devoid of scales. Legs red-brown, annulated with bands of white scales ; femora, and the bases of all the 
other segments also, including the tarsi, thinly clothed with white scales. Sternum, coxe, maxille, and 
labium brown. 
Cephalic quadrangle distinctly wider behind; the posterior lateral eyes set on conspicuous tubercles ; the 
posterior centrals distinctly further from the posterior laterals than from the anterior laterals. Mandibles 
much developed, the basal segments strongly divergent, as long as the carapace, with a large, stout, 
straight tooth towards the insertion of the fang, and a second rather smaller tooth, and a third still 
smaller, very close together at the inner basal angle; the inner angle at the apex has a short stout cusp; 
fang very long, sinuous in the middle, and slightly curved from the base to the apex. Maxille long, 
dilate at; the apex, but not produced at the outer apical angle. Palpus bilobate, with a long, slender, 
sinuous spine springing from its outer side at the apex; tibial spur long, slender, and strongly curving 
downward.

3. Parnenus fimbriatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 15, 15 a-c, 3.) 
Type, ¢, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 6°5 millim. 
Carapace brown or black, clothed with iridescent scales, with a central white cephalic spot and a very broad 
marginal band of white hairs, embracing the clypeus and the basal half of the mandibles. Abdomen 
brown, with iridescent scales and a broad marginal band of white hairs, broken in front and extending to 
the spinners ; lateral and ventral areas brown, separated by a pale line. Legs yellow-brown, the femora 
and the apex of the other segments annulated with black. Inner upper angle of the mandibles developed, 
bearing two small teeth, the lower angle having one small tooth (but very variable, see Plate). Palpal 
bulb elongate, developed behind, but not enlarged, anterior lobe bearing a straight, sharp, black spine, 
enlarged at the base, aculeate at the apex ; tibial spur of the palpus about as long as the segment, slender, 
only very slightly curved.
