400 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vou. XI, 
of the cephalothorax. The anterior eyes are in a recurved row 
and are bent somewhat downwards. The middle eyes are situated 
about midway between the first and 3rd rows. 
The falces (pl. xxxii, fig. 5a) are comparatively short and 
stout and are divergent. ‘The unguis bears on its ‘‘ marge inferi- 
eure’’ 5 minute teeth, but on its superior margin there are 7 
larger teeth. ‘The fang is bent almost at right angles just a little 
above its base, where it is also constricted. The lip is longer 
than wide and there is a constriction about its middle (pl. xxxii, 
fig. 5c). The relative position and shape of the lip, maxillary 
process of the palp and coxa are also shown in fig. 5c. In the 
palpus, both the tibia and tarsus are flattened and constitute the 
palpal organ. A ventral view of the right palpal organ is shown 
in pl. xxxli, fig. 50. 
The coxae of the rst leg are separated by less than the width 
of the lip and are nearly approaching. ‘he rst femur is specially 
thick and the tibia of the rst leg bears 2 rows of 6 long and 
strong spines on its underside. The 2nd tibia bears three shorter 
and thinner spines. 
The sternum is long and narrow and is pointed both anteri- 
orly and posteriorly. The pedicle is moderately long. The abdo- 
men is long and oval with a constriction in the anterior third. 
Colour.—The cephalothorax is dark brown, but black round 
the eyes. A number of white hairs arise about the anterior eyes 
and also from the clypeus. The falces are dark brown and rugose 
dorsally ; ventrally the colour is lighter. The lip is darker in colour 
than the maxillary processes of the palps which are medium brown. 
The last two legs are darker than the Ist two, which are yellowish 
in colour. The rst femur is dark brown. The sternum is medium 
brown. 
The posterior two-thirds of the abdomen dorsally and laterally 
are shining and smooth and are of a testaceous colour; the anterior 
portion is of a duil greenish-brown tinge. In the mid-ventral line 
there is a broad yellowish band, while ventro-laterally there is 
a series of furrows and ridges running longitudinally. 
Myrmarachne ramunni, sp. nov. () 
(Plate xxxii, figs. 4a-c.) 
Some 13 @ specimens of this species were collected by Prof. 
Ramunni Menon at Madras and sent to the Indian Museum in 
two lots. ‘They are referred to a new species on account of the 
peculiarities in the falces and the abdomen.
