Cteniform Spiders of Cci/Joiij Burmahj ({-c. 349 



?. — Colour. Similar to tliat of inalo, but jniboscencc 

 rufous grey, not silvery white. Logs aniiulated and freckled 

 with grey spots; tihiiii without conspicuous silver-grey bauds. 

 Ventral area unicolorous. 



Structure. General characters similar to those of Thorellii $ . 

 Eyes : second row straight by anterior margins. Central 



f)Osterior3 I of a diameter apart, the same distance from 

 atcral anteriors. Ocular quadrangle broader behind, broader 

 than long ; anterior centrals ^ smaller than posterior centrals, 

 ^ diameter apart, i diameter from anterior margin of clypeus. 

 Carapace uniformly convex-horizontal in profile. 

 Vulva longer than broad, with narrow longitudiual central 

 area, broadly dilate posteriorly, again narrowed and broadly 

 truncate, curving below, clothed with short hairs. Margins 

 coriaceous, black, dilate just before middle, euiarginatc and 

 slightly dilate again, attenuate and disappearing beneath 

 posterior portion of central area. On each side of posterior 

 margin lies a stout denticle, its apex extending slightly 

 beyond posterior margin of central area. 



A male and female of this fine species were taken by 

 S. S. Flower, Esq., in the island of Pinang. It resembles 

 Hosei in the male sex by the conspicuous white bands on 

 tibiffi i. and ii., but the anterior legs are shorter and protarsus 

 i. is scarcely shorter than tibia i. ; in Ilosei it is much sliorter.

Structure. Ocular quadrangle broader than long, broader 

 behind ; posterior eyes slightly larger than anterior, | of a 

 diameter apart ; second row procurved ; straight line touching 

 anterior margin of posterior centrals cuts centres of lateral 

 anteriors, the latter one transverse diameter from posterior 

 centrals. Carapace convex-horizontal, not gibbous behind, 

 obliquely inclined to base. Spinulation similar to that of 

 others of the genus. Pat. i. and ii. without lateral spines. 



Colour. Carapace mahogany-brown, clothed uniformly 

 with o-olden-red pubescence ; no distinct central or marginal
