In young specimens of this species the brachial teeth are blunt 

 and the ventral surface of the cephalothorax is paler than in 

 adults. The setal pores on the brachium and underhand show 

 the adult number and arrangement. One young specimen from 

 Renging has nine pectinal teeth on each side, instead of the nor- 

 mal six to eight.

5. binghamii, Pocock, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (6) vol. xii, p. 

 327, pi. xiv, fig. 13 (1893); Fauna of India, Arachnida, 

 p. 74 (1900) ; Kraepe in, Tierr. Scorp., p. 180 (1899). 



This species has been previously recorded only from the Pegu 

 Hills and Central Tenasserim. 



Habitat. — Misty Hollow, west side of Dawna Hills, 2200 ft., 

 22-30-xi-ri [F . H. Gravely). Two adults and seven very young 

 specimens. 



Young examples are paler in colour, both dorsally and ventral- 

 \y, than the corresponding stage of 5. longimanus. The present 

 specimens possess twelve to thiiteen brachial pores, in place of 

 fourteen to fifteen in those described by Pocock, while S. longi- 

 manus has nine to eleven, I doubt if 5. binghamii is more than 

 a variety of 5. longimanus. Kraepelin regards the latter as doubt- 

 fully distinct from the Himalayan 5. montanus, Karsch, and places 

 S. binghamii, with some doubt, also as a synonym of S. montanus. 



7. Hormurus australasiae (Fabr.). 



H. auslralasice^ Kraepelin, Tierr. Scorp., p. 154 (1899); Po- 

 cock, Fauna of India, Arachnida, p. 79 (1900). 



A widely distributed species, extending from Burma and 

 China, through the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago to Northern 

 Australia and the Pacific islands. 



Habitat. — Third Camp, west base of Dawna Hills, 400 ft. 

 (F. H. Gravely) An adult & and four other specimens, three of 

 which are very young. 



Third Camp to Misty Hollow, Dawna Hills, 400-2400 ft. {F. H. 

 Gravelv). Two specimens, one of which is very young. 



Misty Hollow to Sukli, Dawna Hills, 2100—2500 ft. {F. H. 

 Gravely). One specimen. 



Sukli, east side of Dawna Hills, 2100 ft. {F. H. Gravely). 

 Eleven specimens, four of which are very young. 



Thingannyinaung to Sukli, Dawna Hills, 900 ft. (F. H. Gravely). 

 One specimen. 



There is considerable variation in the colour of H. australasics. 

 Some specimens are uniformly black above, while others are in 

 varying shades of brown. Young specimens are pale brown, with 

 the vesicle pale yellow and in some cases with the legs yellowish.
