404 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vor. XI, 
The falces are characteristic. They are long and horizontal ; 
they are not flattened on the upper surface but the inner face of 
each falx slants downwards and inwards from the upper edge so 
that the two only meet along the line of their lower edges, not 
along the whole surface of the inner faces, as is usually the case. 
It agrees in this feature with Salticus imbellis (Peckham, Ant-lthe 
Spiders, 1892). In the present species, however, the inner edge of 
the falces is also curved like the outer and the outer edge at the 
distal extremity passes into a ridge situated on the upper face of 
the faleces behind (c/. WM. ramunni above). There are 11 large teeth 
in the inner row and g smaller teeth in the outer row of teeth of 
the falx. The lip is longer than wide and the sternum is elongated 
and pointed anteriorly as well as posteriorly. The tibia of the 1st 
leg has 6 pairs of spines and the tibia of the 2nd leg has 3 pairs of 
spines on their under surfaces. 
Colowr.—The spider is of a dark olivaceous colour dorsally, 
the cephalic part is darker, almost black, while the thoracic has a 
brownish tinge, the abdomen being paler towards its anterior 
third. There are white hairs about the anterior eyes and the 
clypeus ; on the latter, they arise from the sides and are bent in to- 
wards the middle line. The falces are reddish-brown and are also 
covered with white hairs. The legs are of the same colour as the 
cephalothorax, except the first which has a much lighter colour. 
The coxa and trochanter of the first and the trochanter of the 
fourth are pale white. Ventrally, the abdomen is of a yellowish 
colour with longitudinal blackish lines. The 1st femur is. black- 
lined anteriorly and posteriorly ; the metatarsus and tarsus of the 
and and 3rd legs are yellowish-white. 
This species is closely allied to Salticus imbellis from which it 
differs in size, shape of the cephalothorax, disposition and size of 
the eyes and the colouration. 
Myrmarachne satarensis, sp. nov. (2) 
(Plate xxxii, fig. 9,) 
The description of this new species is based on a specimen 
collected by Mr. Gravely at Helvak, Koyna Valley in the Satara 
district (Bombay) at a height of about 2000 ft. 
Measurements. 
Total length 9 mm. 
Cephalothorax: 3°5 mm. che. ; 16 mm. wide. 
Pedicle 2° mm. long ; 0°35 mm. wide. 
Legs 4132. 
The cephalothorax is moderately high; the thoracic part is 
dome-shaped and is as high as the cephalic, not lower, and is one- 
fifth longer than the cephalic. The cephalic part is separated from 
the thoracic by a constriction which cuts deeply into the sides. It 
is convex dorsally and is also rounded at the sides. The quadrangle
