ANT-LIKE SPIDERS FROM MALAYA. 293 



moderate size, othei"s below angle and smaller. Lower teeth 7 

 or 8, close, about same size from end to end, but .alternate ones 

 possibly smaller. Long thickisli light scopula largest at angle on 

 outer margin. A few long dark hairs along lower margin. 



Colour mahogany lighter than cephalothoi-ax. Unguis at base 

 darker, at apex lighter than paturon. 



Maxillce. — Length > c^, nearly = falx. ISTarrow at base, outer 

 side curving strongly and concavely outwards beyond labium to 

 bold rounded corner, truncation shortish and at about 45° with 

 axis of body. Inner side slopes outwards from truncation, being 

 strongly hollowed in front of and at side of labium. Dark serrula 

 from outer corner to angle. Light scopula along truncation. 

 Width at base =-| labium, at end > labium. 



Colour mahogany, markedly lighter at inner end. 

 Labium. — Length > | maxilla. Breadth at base > | length. 

 Sides parallel at base, slightly inclined towards each other at 

 apex, which is cut off square and has thin scopula of dark hairs. 

 Colour darker than dai-kest part of maxilla except at apex 

 where light. 



Palpi. — Spring from close to base of maxilla. Trochanter < 

 width of maxilla. Femur = ^ caput, flattened, reduced at ends, 

 greatest width = ^ length. Remainder as M. maxillosa. 

 Colour = caput Avith end joints darkest. 

 Legs. — Impossible to measure lengths. 

 1st. Proportions as maxillosa except patella =| tibia. Patella 

 has 1 spine below towards outer side. Tibia 4 spine pairs, 

 subequally spaced and nearly of equal size but with 

 basal slightly the greater. Apex of last spine just reaches 

 end of joint. Metatarsus 2 spine pairs, basal strongest 

 and somewhat stronger than tibial, apex slightly beyond 

 end of joint. 



Colour very light throughout except small dark splash 

 on outer side of trochanter and larger dark splash towards 

 outer basal end of femur and slight darkening on outer 

 side of metatarsus. In a light specimen all these dark 

 markings are absent or merely shades. 

 2nd. c nearly as broad as long, markedly swollen on inner side 

 about centre, 

 tr = i c, barrel-shaped. 



f slightly thicker at base than apex, > ti < p + ti. 

 p z= -| ti, ti 2 spine pairs. m:=p, 2 spine pairs. 

 Colour light throughout except strong dark longitudinal 

 marking on outer sides of c and tr. 

 3rd. Proportions as far as patella = maxillosa. Dark brown 



c to f, light beyond. 

 4th. c > c^, cylindrical or very slightly wider at base. 



tr = f c, slightly barrel-shaped, both these joints nre brown 



with longitiidinal light centre line below, 

 f brown, slightly thicker at base. 

 Remainder missing.
