it differs from all other species of the genus known to me, and 

 resembles Tdragnatha. It further differs from all other species of 

 Lcucaugc known to me in its dull colouration, more resembling that 

 of Orsinome, and from all except the female of L. bcngaknsis in 

 having the anterior median eyes much larger than the rest. 

 From L. bengalcnsis it differs in that these ej^es are equally large in 

 both sexes, instead of l)eing normal in the male. The trochanter 

 and femur of the palps of the mal? are very long and slender, 

 the former about half as long as the latter. The patella and 

 tibia are short and stout, together shorter than the trochanter. 

 The patella is scarcely any broader than it is long. The tibia is 

 about twice as long as the patella and is thickened distally.

Originally described bj' Pickard-Cambridge from Ceylon and 

 subsequently under another name by Simon from the lower levels 

 of the Himalayas, where I have found it very abundant among low 

 foliage during the rains and whence it is represented in the collec-
