ARANEIDEA. 99 



The abdomen is oval, pointed behind; on the upper side is a broad, longitudinal central 

 slightly tapering yellowish band, spotted with small cretaceous-white spots, and showing the 

 normal marking on the fore part of a clearer, though slightly brown, colour, and of an 

 elongate diamond-shape; the marginal portions of the upper part are marked with blackish- 

 brown oblique linear markings, which extend more or less over the sides. These parts, as well 

 as the under side, are similar in colour to the middle of the upper side ; the under side 

 having a broad, well-defined, longitudinal, median, black-brown band, marked along the middle 

 with pale yellowish. The genital aperture is small but of characteristic form. 



Hab. Found at the same time and place as the two foregoing species. Tinali ; route 

 from Murree to Sind Valley, July 19th, 1873. 



Family S A L TIC IDES. 



Genns-HELIOPHANUS, C. L. Koch. 



122. HELIOPHANTJS DUBIUS. 



Heliophanus dubiits, E. Simon, Arachnides de France, torn, iii, p. 146, pi. x., fig. 4. 



I have not been able yet to compare this spider ( $ adult) with a type of H. dubius, 

 Sim., but I believe it to be identical with that species, as it agrees well with the figures and 

 description given I. a. 



Hab. Hills between Sirikol and Aktalla, 8th to 18th May 1874. 



Genns PLEXIPPUS, C. L. Koch. 



123. PLEXIPPTJS ADANSONII. 



Attu$ addansonii, Sav., Egyptc, p. 169, pi. 7, fig. 8. 



Hab. Both sexes of this spider, differing in no respect from examples found in Egypt, 

 and received from Bombay, were contained in the portion of the collection without date or 

 locality but probably (as before observed) made between Murree and Sind Valley about the 

 end of July 1873. 



Genus MENEMERUS, E. Simon. 



12 4. MENEMERUS CINCTUS, sp. n. 



Adult male : length rather over 2| lines. 



The cephalothorax is of a flattened form with a strong transverse depression indicating 

 the junction of the caput and thorax. The upper area of the caput is black, the rest of the 

 cephalothorax is dark yellowish-brown, paler towards the margins. 



It is clothed with hairs mostly of a golden hue, a longitudinal median stripe and a 

 marginal one on each side being furnished with white hairs ; the marginal stripe is formed of 

 two narrow parallel ones. There are also some prominent bristly hairs on the cephalotho- 

 rax, strongest on the sides of the ocular area, below which three of them form a longitu- 



dinal line.
