<t<t. No oblique comb-like ridges on the hand. 



c. Breadth between the outer orbital angles greater 

 than the length meinerti. 



cc. Breadth less than the length. 



</. Two teeth behind the orbital angle; greatest 

 breadth between the posterior teeth. ...smilhii. 



dd. One tooth behind the orbital angle; carapace 

 expanded behind atrorubens. 



The type specimen of S. atrorubens, Hess, 1 was said to' come, 

 from Sydney, together with many other tropical species which 

 do not occur here. The species probably extends to Northern 

 Australia, however, since it has been recorded from several 

 localities in the East Indian Archipelago, New Guinea, and Fiji. 

 Specimens are in the Australian Museum from the two latter 

 localities and the Solomon Islands. 



Hess also gave Sydney as the locality for his S. rotundala, 

 S. similis ( = S. impressa, M. Edw.). 2 and S. schutteii (=S. gra- 

 cilipes, M. Edw.), 2 but they have not since been taken here, 

 though they are recorded from various tropical localities.
