$ . Of a tolerably uniform yellowish colour; limbs mottled with 

 small spots, with a large patch at the base of the tibiae. Eyes of 

 anterior line straight, subequal, about twice their diameter above 

 the edge of the clypeus. Carapace a little shorter than tibia of 

 3rd leg. Vulva large, its lobes converging posteriorly, widely 

 separated in front. 



Measurements in mm. Total length IG'5, carapace 5, 2nd leg 29, 

 4th 24. 



Loc. Burma : Tharrawaddy (Oates). 



The following species of Heteropoda are too briefly described 

 to be classified with accuracy, and have been omitted from the 

 synopsis on pp. 259-260 : 



318. Heteropoda umbrata, Karsch, Berl. ent. Zeits. xxxvi, p. 291, t. xi, 



fig. 11, 1892. 



Colour yellowish, mottled with black. Carapace as long as tibia 

 of 4th leg. Vulva with lateral lobes posteriorly in contact. Tibial 

 apophysis of palp longish, evenly narrowed from base to apex, 

 concave above, convex below. Length 10 mm. 



Loc. Ceylon : Peradeniya (Sarasin). 



319. Heteropoda eluta, Karsch, loc. dt. p. 291, 1892. 



$ . Differs from the preceding at least in having the lobes of 

 the vulva widely separated by a median yellow plate. Tibial 

 apophysis of palp of c? consisting of a sharp process, convex above, 

 concave below, and armed with an inferior basal tubercle. Total 

 length 9 mm. 



Loc. Ceylon (Sarasin). 



320. Heteropoda subtilis, Karsch, loc. dt. p. 292, t. xi, fig. 13. 



c? . Scarcely differing from H. eluta in colour and structural 

 features, but with the tibial apophysis of palp consisting of a wide 

 sublamelliform tooth. Total length 7 mm. 

 Loc. Ceylon : Peradeniya (Sarasin). 



Genus SPARIOLENUS, Simon. 



Spariolenus, Simon, Act. Soc. Linn. Bord. xxxiv, p. 280, 1881 ; 

 id. Hist. Nat. Araign. ii, p. 56, 1897. 



Allied to Heteropoda, but with the eyes of the anterior line so 

 strongly procurved that the inferior edges of the small medians 

 stand almost on a level with the superior edges of the laterals ; the 

 laterals, moreover, are only about two diameters apart and rather 

 more than a diameter above the edge of the clypeus. The maxillae 

 are furnished with a distinct median longitudinal crest, which is 

 at most faintly indicated in Heteropoda. 



Type, S. tiyris, Simon. 



Distribution. India ; Nicobar Islands.
