286 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. X, 



All the above specimens were taken by Mr. T. Bainbrigge 

 Fletcher in October, at an elevation between 4000 and 5000 ft., 

 under logs and in dead leaves. 



It somewhat resembles E. penicillata^ but it is a little bigger, 

 more clumsil}^ built, and lacks the tuft of hairs in the ninth 

 sternite of the male: the colour is much less rich, and the sculpture 

 of the head much more marked. 



These South Indian specimens differ from the original Singa- 

 lese examples, taken by Mr. Green, in more dull-coloured legs, 

 which do not contrast so strikingly with the black body. 



The species is already known from Southern India, as there 

 is one from the Nilgiris in the British Museum. 



Travancore : — Top Station, 6000 ft. (Andrews). 



This is a very small pair, the male being only 10 mm. long : 

 the forceps are decidedly arcuate apicad, but it agrees in other 

 respects with the specimens from the Shevaroys.
