THEBAPHOSID^E. 



Genus PHLOGIELLUS, Pocock*. 

 Phlogiellus, Pocock, Abh. Senck. naturf. Ges. xxiii, pt. 4, p. 595, 1897 



Resembling Selenocosmia in the structure of the stridulating- 

 organ and in most structural features, but distinguishable by having 

 the tarsal scopulae of all the legs divided by a band of setae and 

 by the retention of the inferior tarsal claw on the posterior pair 

 of legs. 



Type, P. inermis, Auss. 



Distribution. Java; Nicobar Islands. 



201. Phlogiellus SUbarmatUS, Thorell, Sv. Vet.-Akad. Handl. xxiv, 

 no. 2, p. 13, 1891 (Ischnocolus). 



Colour : integument blackish, hairy clothing ashy red. Cara- 

 pace low. Legs rather short ; scopulae on anterior legs scanty, on 

 posterior legs thick and divided by a band of setae. 



Measurements in mm. Total length 15-5, carapace 6, 1st leg 

 15, 4th 17. 



Loc. Nanchoury in the Nicobar Islands (according to Thorell}. 



Genus LYROGNATHUS, Pocock. 

 Lyrognathus, Pocock, A. M. N. H. (6) xv, p. 170, 1895. 



At once distinguishable from the rest of the genera of the sub- 

 family by having the legs of the 4th pair much thicker than the 

 rest, with the protarsal scopula extending almost up to the base of 

 the segment ; 3rd leg thicker than 2nd, with the scopula also 

 covering the protarsus beneath. 



Stridulating-organ and other characters as in Selenocosmia. 



Type, L. crotalus, Poc. 



Distribution. North-east India. 



Synopsis of Indian Species. 



a. Eyes of anterior line close to the edge of the 



carapace L. pvgnax, p. 203. 



b. Eyes of anterior line about twice their own dia- 



meter from edge of clypeus. 

 a 1 . Legs longer ; tibia of 4th about three times as 



long as nigh : L. solicitor, p. 203. 



b l . Legs shorter ; tibia of 4th only about twice as 



long as high L. crotalus, p. 203. 



* Based upon a Javan species, P. atriceps, which Prof. Kulczynski informs 

 me (in lift.') is identical with Ischnocolus inermis of Ausserer. According to 

 Thorell, /. subarmatus is abo identical with /. inermis -an opinion of which the 

 correctness may be questioned.
