Family OX YOPID AN. 
Genus Oxyorss, Latr. 
Oxyopes hindostanicus, sp. n. 
Closely allied to O. b&manicus in colour and structural features ; 
but quite different in the form of the generative organs. In the 
Q the vulva somewhat approaches that of O. javanus, the excavation be- 
ing divided into two by a distinct partition, but the partition is shorter, 
and the posterior border of the excavation is not mesially produced 
into a smooth black rounded tubercle but in transversely truncate ; 
behind this black border there is a subpellucid transversely arched 
horny plate, which is more conspicuous than in the majority of 
species. Inthe ¢ the patella of the palp is armed externally with 
two horny teeth, the distal longer, sharp, and directed forwards, the 
basal blunt, cylindrical and directed outwards ; tibia furnished below 
with a great downwardly directed subquadrate precess, the posterior 
angle of which projects below the anterior; marked with two black 
crests. 
Measurements in millimetres.— 9. Total length 9; carapace 3, first 
leg 14:5, second 33, third 11, fourth 13; patella and tibia of fourth 4. 
&. Total length § ; carapace 3; first leg 13°5, fourth 12°5, patella and 
tibia of fourth 4. 
Toc. Widely distributed throughout India and Ceylon, and possibly 
identical with O. semilaris of Stoliczka. 
Oxyopes ryvesi2, sp. n. 
'@. Closely allied to all the species of the genus ; colour of abdomen 
slightly different, this region of the body being mostly of a 
yellowish-white hue clothed with silvery white hairs, but ornamented 
with a median dorsal brownish band clothed with red hairs, a median 
ventral black band, and the lateral surface ornamented in front with 
two short longitudinal reddish lines, in the middle with a pair of short 
black lines, united in front and just before the apex with a similar 
pair of narrowly separated black lines—these dark lines might perhaps 
be described as corresponding to the two lateral black stripes seen in 
QO. lagarus, broken up into three pairs. 
-fegs very long, first nearly 53 times as long as carapace, patella of 
fourth a little longer than carapace.
