The first /egs are armed as in the preceding species, except 
that in full grown specimens there is (? always) a small apical 
spine on the inner side of the tibia. The same applies to the 
second legs except that this inner apical spine of the tibia appears 
at an earlier stage, and is followed by a mid-ventral spine and an 
outer apical one. The third and fourth legs are armed as in that 
species. The tarsal scopulae resemble those of the preceding 
species. ‘The metatarsal scopulae are dense on the first pair of 
legs, slightly thinner on the others; they occupy the distal half of 
the metatarsi of the first two pairs of legs, but are more restricted 
on the last two. 
This species seems to be very closely allied to P. millett. It 
agrees with Pocock’s short description of that species in all struc- 
tural characters, but differs in the colour of its pile which is 
distinctly brown, not red, being almost olivaceous on the abdo- 
men: it also differs in the absence of white hairs from the extre- 
mities of the legs. The localities from which the two species come 
are very widely separated; and a fuller description of H. millets 
will probably reveal structural differences between the two. 
Genus Phlogiodes, Pocock. 
This genus is not represented in our collection, unless it be by 
two immature specimens from the Bombay Presidency. I canadd 
nothing to what I have already said about it above (pp. 269-270). 
Group THRIGMOPOEEAE. 
Pocock’s key to the two genera recognized in this group 
seems quite satisfactory. 
Genus Haploclastus, Simon. 
The stridulating organ of the new species of. this genus 
described below is of a very simple, almost rudimentary type. 
It has been figured elsewhere (Gravely, 1915, pl. xxxi, fig 1). The 
bacilli on the chelicerae are situated on the lower margin, into the 
gereral hairiness of which they merge, and the minute scattered 
bristles on the anterior surface of the coxa of the palp are 
scarcely if at all different from the more numerous bristles which 
cover this surface in the first legs. In other characters, the genus 
closely resembles the preceding ' which has no stridulating organ, 
and the following in which the stridulating organ is of a some- 
what more advanced type. It may therefore be regarded as 
transitional between the two.
