about equal to the distance lying between the posterior edge 

 of the tubercle and the hindermost point of the posterior 

 border, whereas in Everettii it is distinctly less ; moreover, 

 the slope from the tubercle, along the middle line, to the pos- 

 terior edge is gradual, whereas in Everettii there is a very 

 noticeable and abrupt alteration of level in front of the fovea; 

 in the eyes of the anterior row the lateral are larger and 

 closer to the median and to the posterior lateral, which are 

 also relatively larger than in Everettii. 



Sternum wider than in Everettii ^ the length only just 

 exceeding the width, which, between the coxfe of the second 

 leg, is greater than the length of the tibia of the palp ; 

 whereas in Everettii the sternum at this spot is, if anything, 

 less tlian the tibia of the palp ; distance between the posterior 

 impressions less than the width of the tubercle. 



Legs as in Everettii^ except that the first is a little shorter 

 than the fourth (the two measured along the upperside from 

 the base of the proximal end of the trochanter to the apex of 

 the claws) ; the femur and trochanter of the first shorter than 

 the carapace (just about equal in Everettii) ; the first leg 

 only excelling the length of the third by a little more than 

 its tarsus, whereas in Everettii the excess amounts to the 

 tarsus and nearly half the protarsus. 



Measurements in miUimetres. — Length of carapace 18*o, 

 width 16o ; length of abdomen 17, of palp 32, of first leg 53, 

 of second 47"0, of third 44, of fourth 54, of posterior spinner 

 8-5. 



Loc. Kuala Lama, N. Borneo {A. Everett, Esq.). One 

 specimen 



With this specimen was the following note in Mr. Everett's 

 handwriting: — "Found in a bird's nest, in which it had 

 killed the young bird. Under surface of feet iridescent, with 

 fine metallic-blue and green reflections. The small spider 

 Avas taken on the large one." The said small spider proves 

 to be a Scytodes of some kind or other. 



I separate this species from Everettii on the characters 

 mentioned in the diagnosis. The specimen appears to be 

 mature, so there are no reasons for supposing that the species 

 has been based upon immature characters. 



In addition to the types of the two above-described species 

 the British Museum has a third specimen, a male, from Borneo, 

 which is, I think, probably the male of Everettii. The palpi 

 and legs are very long, as in the male of Omothymus — the 

 palpi being about 'l\ times the length of the carapace, with the 

 tibia twice the length of the patella. The carapace, which
