2. Closely resembles the male in general features, but the first 
legs are only about twice as long as the body. The tail is slender, 
being about five times as long as deep. The first joint is longer 
than the second, which is scarcely as long as broad. The first 
and second joints combined are scarcely as long as the third and 
fourth which are indistinctly separated. 
Colour of both sexes.—Pale brown, sometimes with a greenish 
tinge in large specimens. 
Length.—Up to about 3 mm. 
This species seems to be allied to S. vittatus', but is paler and 
usually browner in colour, and lacks the eye-spots so conspicuous 
in that species. The tail of the female (the only sex known in 
S. vittatus) is, moreover, much slenderer, and lacks the swelling 
characteristic of that species. 
Schizomus (Trithyreus) spp. af. modestus, Hansen. 
Localtties.—Malay Peninsula (outside Kubang Tiga and 
Jerneh caves, Perlis; Grik and Lengong, Perak). 
The specimens, although fairly numerous, are all female or 
immature. The terminal joint of the tarsus of the antenniform 
legs is somewhat more than half as long as the metatarsus, as in 
S. modestus,® which the specimens appear to resemble in a general 
way, as do also the females of S. vittatus,! greeni,> buxtoni, etc. 
In the absence of any really definite characteristics, such as would 
doubtless be found in the tail of the male, it seems undesirable 
either definitely to record the Papuan species from the Malay 
Peninsula, or to provide the specimens before me with a new 
specific name. It is possible that more than one species may be 
represented.
