Spiders from the Solomon Islands. 471 



Loc. Probably Shortland Island ; a single male procured 

 by Mr. Woodford. 



In the height of the clypeus and shape of the carapace 

 this species resembles the genus Parhedrus ; but in the curva- 

 ture of the anterior line of eyes it more nearly approaches 

 Heteropoda. 



Genus Prychia, L. Koch. 



26. Prychia graciliSj L. Koch. 



Prychia gracilis, L. Koch, Die Arachniden Austral, ii. p. 654, pi. liii. 

 fig. 1 (1875). 



Two specimens of the genus Prychia obtained in New 

 Georgia [H.M.S. ^ Penguin^) are, I think, referable to the 

 species named gracilis described by L. Koch from the Fiji 

 Islands. 



Family Attidae. 



Genus Bavia, Simon. 

 27. Bavia sex-punctata (Dol.). 



Salticus sex-ptinctatus (Doleschall), Nat. Tijdschr. Nederland. Indie, 



xiii. p. 24 (1857) ; id. Acta Soc. Sci. Indo-N6erland. 1869, pi. iv. 



fig. 8. 

 Marptusa sex-punctata, Thorell, Ann. Mus. Genova, xiii. p. 224, &c. 



(1878) ; id. op.cit. xvii. p. 444 (1881). 

 Acompse didcitiervis, L. Koch, Die Arachniden Austral, p. 1149, pi. c. 



fig. 1 (1879). 



In this synonymy I follow Dr. Thorell, since a specimen 

 of Bavia obtained by Mr. Woodford in the Solomon Islands, 

 which appears to be identical with the species described by 

 Koch as Acompse dulcinervis, also agrees seemingly with 

 Thorell's description of Marptusa sex-punctata. Koch's 

 specimens were from the Pelew Islands ; those that Thorell 

 examined from Amboina, Aru, Goram, New Guinea, &c. 



Genus Bathippus, Thorell. 



28. Bathipjms (?) macroprofopuSj sp. n. 

 (PI. XIX. fig. 10.) 



Colour. Carapace deep mahogany-brown, with metallic 

 lustre at the sides, paler on the head and in the middle line 

 of the thoracic portion, a few red hairs around the eyes ; 

 mandible mahogany-brown, with blue metallic lustre in front ; 

 legs and palpi a uniform ochre-yellow ; abdomen duller yellow,
