close together, forming a row slightly curved downward, the 

 middle being nearly twice as large as the lateral. The second 

 row is nearer the first than the third row. The dorsal eyes are 

 placed on the edge of the cephalothorax. Falces long, hor- 

 izontal, narrow in the distal third, then widening out, rounded 

 above and on the outer sides, flat on the inner faces. From 

 below four teeth are visible on the inner side of each falx at 

 the distal end. The fang is long and has a double curve. 

 The pedicle is bi-articulate, but not extremely long. The ab- 

 domen is short and oval, with a slight constriction near the 

 anterior end, the portion in front of the constriction being 

 higher than that behind it. The lip is longer than wide. 



Color. The cephalothorax is rich, dark brown, with a 

 tinge of red ; there are some short, yellow hairs on the upper 

 cephalic part and there is a band of white hairs in the constric- 

 tion. The falces are dark and iridescent ; the palpi are dark 

 brown ; the legs of the first pair are dark and iridescent, ex- 

 cepting the last joint, which is pale ; the second leg is all pale, 

 excepting a dark, longitudinal band on the anterior face of the 

 femur ; the third leg has the femur and patella dark and the 

 other joints pale ; the fourth has the femur, the distal end of 

 the patella, the tibia and the metatarsus dark, and the rest pale. 



Variety solivagus. The femur of the first leg is thickened 

 and the tibia of the palpus is longer than in spissus. The 

 cephalothorax is medium brown, excepting the upjaer surface 

 of the cephalic part, which is like spissus, and the falces are 

 rather light brown, and are slightly iridescent, with light violet 

 tints. That part of the abdomen just in front of the constric- 

 tion rises abruptly into a sharp ridge. 



Habitat. Ceylon.

Cephalothorax very long and narrow. Cephalic part high, 

 with rounded sides, limited behind by a Avide, deep, constric- 

 tion ; thoracic part much lower, rising to a slight elevation 

 behind the constriction and then sloping, very gradually, out- 

 ward to the sides and backward to the posterior border. The
