Loc. S. India : Madura (Fabre). 



Genus ISCHN0C0LUS, Ausserer. 



Ischnocolus, Ausserer, Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, xxi, p. 184, 1871 ; 

 Simon, Hist. Nat. Araign. i, p. 135, 1892. 



Carapace low ; fovea straight, slightly curved ; eyes of anterior 

 line subequal, slightly procurved. Legs, in the typical form, spiny, 

 especially on the tibiae and protarsi of the 2nd and 3rd pairs ; 

 tarsal scopulae of all the legs divided by a band of setae in the 

 adult. No tibial spurs on anterior leg of male. In the typical

 Japs the palpal organ. 



Type, /. hoi ose rice its, Auss. S. Europe. 



Distribution. Mediterranean district of Palaearctic fi-egion, and 

 possibly the Oriental Eegion. 



The Indian species here referred to this genus may be 

 diagnosed as follows * : — 



a. Legs without spines I. brevipes, p. 183. 



.b. Legs, especially on tibiae and protarsi of 3rd and 

 4th pairs, with many spines. 

 a 1 . Abdomen ornamented above with oblique pale 



spots /. ornatus, p. 184. 



b 1 . Abdomen not spotted above I. linteatus, p. 183. 



167. Ischnocolus linteatus, Simon, Ann. Soc. Ent. Ft. lx, p. 308 



1891. 



5 . Colour : integument blackish, hairy clothing yellowish. 

 Carapace with fovea small and transverse ; eyes of anterior line 

 subequal, the medians scarcely larger than the laterals. Labium 

 not much wider than loug ; the spinules arranged in three trans- 

 verse series. Anterior legs with protarsi scarcely longer than the 

 tarsi, armed with a single apical spine below ; tibiae unarmed ; 

 posterior legs strongly spined. 



Measurements in mm. — Total length 13, carapace 0, width of 

 carapace 4*5. 



Loc. S.India: Pondicherry. 



This species probably belongs to the genus Plesiophrictus. 



168. Ischnocolus brevipes, Thorell, Ann. Mus. Geneva, xxxvii, 



p. 170, 1897. 



J. Colour of integument blackish, of hairy coating pale 

 ferruginous. Carapace low ; fovea slightly procurved, scarcely 

 longer than patella and tibia of 1st, distinctly longer than those of 



* It is doubtful if any of tli^se species really belong to Ischnocolus.
