The Kalimpong series includes one male, and we have a male 
of the same species from Kurseong. This sex differs from the 
female in having the anterior median eyes more distinctly larger 
than the anterior laterals, and the posterior medians much smaller 
than the posterior laterals. The lower surface is inclined to be 
somewhat reddish throughout—more so in our Kurseong specimen 
than in the other. The legs and spinerettes are much slenderer 
in the male than in the female; and the abdomen is shorter in 
proportion to the length of the spinerettes. The palpal organ is 
lightly constricted below the stout conical base of the remarkably 
long slender and almost straight style (see pl. xv, fig. 5).
