Genus ISCHNOCOLUS, Ausserer. 



Ischuocolus, Ausserer, Verh. z.-b. Gets. Wien, xxi, p. 184, 1871 ; 

 Simon, Hist. Nut. Araign. i, p. 135, 1892. 



Carapace low ; fovea straight, slightly curved ; eyes of anterior

 especially on the tibiae and protarsi of the 2nd and 3rd pairs ; 

 tarsal scopulse of all the legs divided by a band of setae in the 

 Adult. No tibial spurs on anterior leg of male. In the typical

 Japs the palpal organ. 



Type, /. holosericeus, Auss. S. Europe. 



Distribution. Mediterranean district of Palaearctic Region, and 

 possibly the Oriental Eegion. 



The Indian species here referred to this genus may be 

 -diagnosed as follows * : 



a. Legs without spines /. brevipes, p. 183. 



J). Legs, especially on tibiae and protarsi of 3rd and 



4th pairs, with many spines. 

 a 1 . Ahdomen ornamented ahove with oblique pale 



spots I. ornatus, p. 184. 



6 1 . Abdomen not spotted above /. linteatus, p. 183. 



167. Ischnocolus linteatus, Simon, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. lx. p. 308 



1891. 



5 . Colour : integument blackish, hairy clothing yellowish. 

 Carapace with fovea small and transverse ; eyes of anterior line 

 -subequal, the medians scarcely larger than the laterals. Labium 

 not much wider than long ; the spinules arranged in three trans- 

 verse series. Anterior legs with protarsi scarcely longer than the 

 tarsi, armed with a single apical spine below ; tibiae unarmed ; 

 posterior legs strongly spined. 



Measurements in mm. Total length 13, carapace 6, width of 

 .carapace 4-5. 



Loc. S. India : Pondicherry. 



This species probably belongs to the genus Plesiophrictus. 



168. Ischnocolus hrevipes, Thorell, Ann. Mus. Genova, xxxvii, 



p. 170, 1897. 



$ . Colour of integument blackish, of hairy coating pale 

 ferruginous. Carapace low ; fovea slightly procurved, scarcely 

 longer than patella and tibia of 1st, distinctly longer than those of 



* It is doubtful if any of tbjse speciea really belong to Ischnocolus.
