tubercle, whirli hears a few clavale hairs; Ihe femur is al least 3a longer than 

 broad and a Utile narrower than Ihe libia, which has the anterior outline "sat 

 aequaliter el sal leviler ad longiludineni rotundatum". The hand, which is at least 

 1-5 longer than broad, is more than lo broader than tibia, about 1-5 longer than 

 lingers. The tarsi have simple claws and those of the fourth pair of legs a median 

 ''taclile" hair. Bhamo.

Distinct eyes('l] present; céphalothorax distinctly longer than broad with distinct, 

 almost straight transverse lines, of which the posterior is the less distinct; it is 

 almost smooth and provided with short slender hairs "apice truncatis et pauUulo 

 clavatis"; the tip of the abdomen with "tactile" hairs. The palps are short and 

 slender, a little shorter than the body, "omnium subtilissime coriacei et sub-nitidi"; 

 Ihe femur, which is a little broader than Ihe trochanter, is 3 times as long as broad 

 with almost parallel sides; the tibia, which is a little shorter and broader than 

 this, is beyond stalk "angustissime ovatum fere". The hand is distinctly ("non 

 parum") longer and almost 15 broader than the libia, more than 15 broader than 

 long and IS longer than fingers. Claws simple. Thorell writes about this species 

 "C/i. Birmanico, Thor. et C/j. polito, Sim. valde similis, sed pilis plerisque apice 

 paullo incrassalis, cet., agnosci potest"; but if his statement about the occurrence 

 of real eyes, not ocular spots, is correct, his remark about its afiinily can scarcely 

 be accepted.

1884. H. J. Hansen (9.) p. 542. 

 Distinct eyes present; two almost straight distinct transverse stripes present; 

 céphalothorax with clavate hairs and distinctly granular. Posterior abdominal tergites 

 with lateral as well as median hairs in front of transverse row and two last segments 

 with ''tactile' hears. The IV — IX sternites (^) with great number of short spines. 

 Genital area of the male ofSubruber" type. The distinctly granular palps are sliorter 

 (Ç) or a little longer 0) than body; the trochanter is distinctly longer than broad 

 and has dorsal surface produced posteriorly into a prominent rounded tubercle: femur 

 fdwul 3 times longer than broad, a little longer, bul narrower than libia, ivhich has 

 the lateral margins distinctly convex and posterior basal elevation obsolete C^) or well 

 marked (é) ; hand is 13 (^) or 1-2 (c^) broader than tibia and about IS longer than 

 lingers. '^Tactile" hair of fourth pair of tarsi a little nearer to Ihe apex than to the 

 base: the tarsus of Ihe first pair of legs is a little shorter than the libia and hû longer 

 than deep; claws are simple. The arliculatiou between trochanliu and femur I sliylitly 

 developed.
