rounded behind, truncate before; the profile-line forms a con- 
tinuous curve ; the lateral marginal impressions at the caput are 
very slight. Colour yellowish brown. 
Eyes small, in the ordinary Epeirid position; the four centrals 
form as nearly as possible a square, its posterior eyes slightly 
largest. The lateral pairs are close to the anterior corners of the 
caput, minute; those of each pair are contiguous to each other and 
form nearly a straight line with the anterior pair of the central 
quadrangle. 
Legs short, not very strong, 1, 2, 4, 3, devoid of spines, furnished 
with fine hairs only; colour brownish yellow, tinged with orange. 
Falces short, strong, subconical ; colour like that of the cephalo- 
thorax. Maxille and !abium normal in form, and similar in colour 
to the cephalothorax, perhaps rather paler. 
Sternum similar in colour to the legs. 
Abdomen coriaceous, large, subtriangular, broader than long, 
rounded in front, the fore corners rounded, though scarcely to be 
described as forming distinct prominences ; upper surface consider- 
ably elevated in a subconical form; colour yellowish white, that 
of the cone tinged with yellow-brown. Near the middle of the 
anterior margin, quite visible but not very distinct, are tliree 
sigillitorm markings with two others behind, halfway to the 
summit of the conical abdomen; behind these last, and one on 
either side of the base of the cone, are two others similar, in a 
transverse line, and forming a line equal in length to that formed 
by the three anterior sigille ; the upper part of the cone is encireled 
by some indistinct fine darker concentric lines. The underside 
is dark dull yellow-brown, and from the outer margins of it sundry 
fine dark lines issue upwards in groups of two or three, converging 
until they meet about one-third of the way towards the top of the 
cone. Genital process broad and very characteriStic in form. 
Hab. Singapore (2t. Shelford). 
Fam. THOMISIDA4, 
Subfam. AMYCIIN®. 
Genus Amycr#a Sim. (Amycle Cambr.). 
AMYCLEA LINEATIPES, sp.n. (Plate V. figs. 4-4 d.) 
Adult female, length 23 lines. 
This Spider is nearly allied to A. forticeps Cambr. (P. Z. 8. 
Lond. 1873, p. 122) from Ceylon, and bears a close general 
resemblance to it; but it may be distinguished by the shorter legs, 
by the area of the four larger outer eyes, of which the anterior is of 
the same length as the posterior side, and the four anterior eyes 
forming a straight transverse line. ‘The markings on the legs, 
palpi, and abdomen, and the form also of the abdomen, differ from 
those of A. forticeps, though it is possible that this last character 
may only be sexual. 
The palpi have a longitudinal black streak on their inner sides.
