OCYALE. 251 



coloured, with the legs banded and mottled as in H. pantherina ; 

 abdomen banded with white below. Carapace as long as patella 

 and tibia of 1st leg, but distinctly shorter than patella and tibia and 

 than protarsus of 4th ; eyes of anterior line very unequal in size, 

 medians nearly twice the diameter of the laterals, their inferior 

 edges in a straight line. Vulva consisting of a plate triangularly 

 pointed behind and forming an archway over the cavity. 



Measurements in mm. Total length II, carapace 4'5, 1st leg 14, 

 4th 20.

In size, length of 'limbs, &c. nearly resembling the preceding; 

 darker in colour ; abdomen with a narrow black band on each side 

 below. Eyes of anterior line more nearly equal, medians at most 

 a little larger than the laterals, with their inferior edges standing 

 much higher. Vulva forming a vertical archway as in H.pisaurina, 

 but the posterior border of the arch transversely truncate.

Loc. Burma: Rangoon, Tharrawaddy (Oates), Minhla (Comotto). 

 Also recorded by Simon, but perhaps erroneously, from the Konkan

293. Hippasa holmerse, Thorell, Spiders of Surma, p. 218, 1895. 



A small paler-coloured species, with the legs not banded ; recog- 

 nizable from all the foregoing by having the plate of the vulva 

 produced posteriorly into a long, backwardly-directed tongue-like 

 process. Total length 8 mm.
