Male. A somewhat broken specimen, almost similar in colour- 

 ing to the above, appears to be of the same species but, as in 

 other cases, the first pair of legs is the longest instead of the 

 fourth. The shape of the cephalothorax and positions of the 

 eyes are similar as also the falx-sheath teeth, but the lip is rather 

 broader, making it as broad as long. The coxse have thick white 

 hairs at the ends adjoining the trochanters. 



The white pattern on the back of the abdomen is formed of 

 scales in two rows of rather large spots disposed longitudinally 

 instead of transversely, and the pale bordering on the under 

 side is less distinct than in the female. There is a row of 

 eleven spines on the anterior half of tibia i. underneath as in 

 T. trahifera Thor. and allied species.

In ' Ragni di Selebes,' p. 251, Dr. T. Thorell described a male 

 from Kandari which he named Telamonia (Moevia C. L. Koch^ 

 1848) latruncula. This is apparently very closely akin to the 

 above female, but differs in having a white marginal fillet round 

 the cephalothorax, and elsewhere being brightly coloured red, 

 blue and green, and having the lip 1^ longer than broad. The
