Mygalomorphex tn the British Museum. 227 
but they are evidently immature specimens of some larger 
species, 
Eurypelma Jheringit, Keyserling (op. cit. p. 19), from 
Taquara, belongs to the Homexommatez, and not to Bury- 
pelma. It appears to be ascribable to Homaomma as charac- 
terized by Simon (‘ Hist. Nat. Araignées,’ i. p. 162), which, 
however, is not, I believe, the true Homeomma of Ausserer 
and Cambridge. In the latter the palpal bulb bears at its 
base a tuberculiform tooth and the apex is not “ simpliciter 
tenuissimus,” as Simon says, but stout and strongly curved. 
Moreover, in the specimens that I have examined in the 
Museum there.is no apical scopula on the fourth protarsi. 
They appear, in fact, to be referable to Agathostola, Simon, 
which will prove, I think, to be a synonym of Homawomma. 
_Lasiodora immanis, Ausserer (op. cit. p. 195), as the 
diagnosis clearly proves, belongs to Simon’s later genus 
Xenesthis. 7 
Phlogius cervinus, Thorell (‘The Spiders of Burma,’ 
London, 1895, p. 5), 1s based upon two specimens (a male and 
a female), which are, however, specifically distinct. The 
male, which may be taken as the type, belongs to the genus 
Musagetes, Poc.; the female also belongs to the same genus, 
and is specifically identical with the species I have named 
Musagetes bicolor (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xv. pp. 172, 
174). 
Phlogius fuligineus, id. (op. cit. p. 8), is correctly re- 
ferred to its genus. It seems to me, however, that the genus 
FPhlogius, Sim., must be regarded as synonymous with the 
older genus Selenocosmia of Ausserer, the distinction between 
the two, based upon the presence or absence of a divisional 
line of setee on the tarsal pads of the fourth leg, being, I 
believe, not of generic value *. 
Phlogius sericeus, id. (op. cit. p. 10), from Rangoon, 
belongs to the genus Chilobrachys of Karsch, the claws ot the 
legs being minutely dentate and the inferior claw often visible. 
The young specimens illustrate very forcibly the law of the 
growth of the tarsal scopule that I have enunciated above. 
* In the synopsis of the genera of Selenocosmiide in Ann. & Mag. 
Nat. Hist. (6) xv. p. 170, I stated that the protarsal pads of the third leg 
in Phlogius and Selenocosmia cover only half the segment. This is not 
strictly accurate, since the scopula in question extends over about two 
thirds or even more of the protarsus.
