Spiders from the Andaman Islands. 227 



from those islands *. Only two of M. Simon's species 

 were known to araclinologi.sts as inhabiting other parts of 

 iSoutiicrn Asia, especially Burma and the Malay Archi- 

 pelago; the rest (five species) were all new to science. To 

 the seven Sj)ecies mentioned by M. Simon I am now able to 

 add fourteen more, captured in Table Island by Mr. Gates, 

 and kindly ])laced by him in my hands for examination, 

 Thougii only two of these spiders (Epeira Oatesii and Salticus 

 modestus) appear to be new, a list of them may, I think, be of 

 some interest, as it affords strong evidence of the conformity 

 of the spider fauna of the Andamans with that of Burma on 

 the one side and the Malay Archipelago on the other ; the 

 twelve already-known species belong, in fact, also to the fauna 

 of Burma or to that of the Malay Archipelago, and are even 

 common to these two regions, with the exception perhaps of 

 Arcjyroepjeira yusilla^ irom Amboiua, of Sarotes impudicasj 

 which had hitherto been captured in Burma only, and of Tela- 

 monia Peckhamiij which had been found in the Nicobar Islands 

 and Sumatra. 



The twenty-one species of spiders now known to inhabit 

 the Andamans belong to the following tribes : — Territelaria3 

 (1 sp.), Itetitelariai (2 sp.), Orbitelarite (10 sp.), Citigradai 

 (1 sp.), Laterigradai (2 sp.), and Saltigradte (5 sp.). More- 

 over the Tubitelarite are, in Mr. Oates's collection, repre- 

 sented by a few young specimens belonging to the genera 

 Clubiona and Eutittha ; but these specimens (and that of a 

 Lycosu) are not sufficiently developed to be determined or 

 described. Also among the Andaman spiders studied by 

 M. Simon there were young representatives of several genera 

 (IJomalattus, Oxi/02)es, Nepliila, [Meta = Argyroepeira?], Iler- 

 silia^ Chiracanthium) that are not included in our lists of the 

 spiders of the islands. 



The species contained in Mr. Oates's collection are as 

 follows : — 



Tribus Bei'itelarije. 

 Fam. Pholcoidae. 



1. Pholcus elongatas^ Vins.

* These species are : — 1. Cytcca alholimhata, sp. n. ; 2. Cyllobelus

 cantha annamita, Sim. ( = G. leuco)neleB7ia (l)ol.),Thor.) ; 5. Cyclosa albi- 

 sternis, s^. n. ; 6. Tetragnatha f/ravi/is (.Stol.); 7. Safzicus andamanicus, 

 sp. n.
