Cteniform Spiders of Ceylon, Burmah, ke. 349 
?.—Colour. Similar to that of male, but pubescence 
rufous grey, not silvery white. Legs annulated and freckled 
with grey spots; tibis without conspicuous silver-grey bands. 
Ventral area unicolorous. 
Structure. General characters similar to those of Thorellit Q. 
Hyes: second row straight by anterior margins. Central 
posteriors g of a diameter apart, the same distance from 
lateral anteriors. Ocular quadrangle broader behind, broader 
than long ; anterior centrals 4 smaller than posterior centrals, 
% diameter apart, } diameter from anterior margin of clypeus. 
Carapace uniformly convex-horizontal in profile. 
Vulva longer than broad, with narrow longitudinal central 
area, broadly dilate posteriorly, again narrowed and broadly 
truncate, curving below, clothed with short hairs. Margins 
coriaceous, black, dilate just before middle, emarginate 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 b 
S. S. Flower, Esq., in the island of Pinang. It resembles 
floset in the male sex by the conspicuous white bands on 
tibie i. and ii., but the anterior legs are shorter and protarsus 
1. 18 scarcely shorter than tibia i. ; in Hose? it is much shorter.

Structure. Ocular quadrangle broader than long, broader 
behind ; posterior eyes slightly larger than anterior, 3 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. at. i. and ii. without lateral spines, 
Colour. Carapace mahogany-brown, clothed uniformly
