Curapace of about the same form as in H. venatoria, but with the 
head a little narrower, the width a little less than the total length 
of the carapace ; eyes of anterior line closer together, more procurved, 
the quadrangle narrower in front; the anterior medians only about 
half the diameter of the anterior laterals, the lower edges about on 
a level with the centre of the laterals. 
Legs with spine armature as in H. venatoréa, but with a spine on the 
distal half of the upper side of the third tibia ; third leg relatively longer 
than in HZ. venatorza, surpassing the middle of the protarsus of the 
second, the fourth not surpassing it by the length of its tarsus. 
Vulva larger than in H. venatoria; the lobes widely separated. 
by a broad median sclerite, which is posteriorly marked by a median 
elliptical excavation. 
Measurements in millimetres.— 9 . Total length 27 ; length of carapace 
11:5, width 10°5 ; width of head 5:5 ; length of first leg 49, of second 
54, of third 44°5, of fourth 46°5, tibia of third leg 12. 
a. Much resembling the $ of H. venatoria in colour and structural 
characters, but with the anterior median eyes only about half the 
diameter of the laterals, a much less noticeable white band upon the 
clypeus, and the legs considerably longer, the first being about 
51 times the length of the carapace ; carapace about three-quarters the 
length of the tibia of third leg. Tibia of first, second and third with two _ 
superior spines, of fourth with one distal superior spine ; patella of 
fourth unspined. Tibial apophysis of palpus longer, clavate and trun- 
cate apically, with the lower border concave, and the inferior distal 
angle subacute ; tarsus of palpus more voluminous, externally angular 
at base. 
Measurements in millimetres.— 8. Total length 16 ; length of carapace 
8, width 7; length of first leg 45, of second 51, of third 39, of fourth 
40°5 ; tibia of third 10°5. 
Loc. Nilgiri Hills (Z. W. Oates) ; Coonoor (W. Davison) ; Ootaca- 
mund (G. fF. Hampson); Kotagiri (J. R. Henderson). 
Heteropoda lentula, sp. n. 
@. Much resembling H. nilgirina in the form of the vulva, but 
smaller, with the carapace higher, the mandibles not black but pale, 
with two fuscous bands, and the legs considerably shorter ; the 
carapace being longer than the tibia of the second leg, while the 
latter is only about three and-a-half times the length of the carapace-
