Three females from Hall Sound ; two females from Cocoanut 

 Island • two females from Warrior Island ; and one female, each, 

 from Katow, Sue Island, and Bet Island. L. Koch refers to 

 specimens from Pelew, Fiji, and Bowen. The colour varies a 

 little in shade in the different specimens, and the bandings on 

 the legs are very distinct in some young specimens. There is also 

 a young specimen (female) from Sue Island, which approaches 

 closely to this species ; the pattern on the upper and lower sides 

 of the abdomen is different : the legs are much slighter, and, 

 altogether, the insect seems to belong to a different species, but 

 it is much too immature to be described with safety. 



E. Macleayi, N. S. 



Cephalothorax much longer than broad, the caput being high ; 

 the four centre eyes are veiy close together ; the laterals at the 

 sides of the caput ai'e also close to one another; colour of cepha- 

 lothorax dull yellowish red, the caput being a light reddish yellow ; 

 legs palpi sternum and mandibles same colour, fangs red. 



Legs moderately long — first pair, 3 lines long ; abdomen oval, 

 fawn colour, covered closely with minute silvery hairs, with 8 

 pits, in 2 longitudinal lines ; between these lines is a longitudinal 

 line of faint white ; the abdomen slightly overlaps the cepha- 

 lothorax. 



Length of cephalothorax, 1| lines; of abdomen, 2 lines: total 

 length, 3 lines ; one female, from Hall Sound. There is, also, 

 apparently, another specimen, from Percy Island, but so damaged 

 as to be indistinguishable.
