140 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA, 
TARANTULIDA. 
(= Phrynichid2. ) 
Genus Phrynichus, Karsch. 
P. pusillus, var. gracillibrachiatus, n. 
6 Resembles P. pusillus (s. str.) in all points, except the greater 
length and slenderness ‘of the arms. In full-grown specimens the 
femur of these appendages varies from 19°5 to 29°5 mm. in length 
in the variety, and from 9:0 to 13:5 in the typical form, the “ mode ” 
in both cases being intermediate between the two extreme 
measurements. 
? Body distinctly larger than in the male, arms proportionately 
somewhat shorter and stouter. Second abdominal sternum as in 
P. pusillus (s. str.), i.e., with the pair of semi-lunar lobes small or 
absent. 
As intimated in my previous paper, this appears to be chiefly a 
low-country form, but I am very anxious to obtain if possible 
further information as to its distribution in the Island before 
committing myself to any more precise statement than this.
