ANT-LIKE SPIDERS FROM MALAYA. 205 



about |. Organs have a black spine springing from, nenr inner 

 apical end, encircling fovea outwards and backwards and termi- 

 nating in a fine point pointing outwards at about middle of apex 

 after completing somewhat more than a circle. (Text-fig. 5, d.) 



Legs. — 4 considerably > 1 ; 3 missing but up to f = 2. Gene- 

 rally as 2 except that in 2 anterior pairs there ai'e strong black 

 lines along sides of joints which are mnch strongest in femurs, 

 and the white centre lines of c^ and tr^ occupy the whole of the 

 lower side, and ti.^ has 3 spine pairs instead of 2. 



Opisthosoma. — Abdomen longer and narrower. Width = i 

 length. White marking at constriction only at sides. Above 

 and below central brown coriaceous lines running nearly the 

 whole length of the body. 



Short Description. 



Cephalothorax = abdomen in $ = | abdomen in J . Caput= 

 thorax, moderately high, with broad but shallow groove and 

 thorax lower. Strong white-haired wedge at sides of groove, and 

 S white hairs along rim. 



§ falx : upper teeth 5 or 6, subevenly spaced, 3 above angle, 

 moderate, remainder small ; lower 8 or 9, close, small. 



(S falx = cephalothorax, subparallel edges, inner concave near 

 apex and terminating in strong bow. Unguis, S curve, slight 

 swelling near point, =:paturon. Upper teeth 1 at base of ungilis, 

 5 evenly spaced over basal half, of which 2-5 very strong. 

 Lower 9 dots evenly spaced with dark ridge at base. 



Sternum narrow, I'ounded between C2.3, short points in front 

 and between C1.2, longer point behind, ci.i about \ their width 

 apart. 



Legs. — First 2 pairs white, black side-lined in S • Posterior 

 dark with c, and tr, dark below, c,> c,, tr, = '4c,. Order 4.1 



4 I '41'40'i 



(2 . 3 ?). p^ 1 spine below towards outer side, ti^ 4 spine pairs, 

 m^ 2 spine pairs, ti.^ $ 2 spine pairs ( (S 3), m,, 2 spine pairs. 



Pedicel: 2rid joint notably longer than 1st. 



Abdomen c^dindrical, narrow, gently constricted at ^, with 

 white oblique lines down side, in 2 extending below. c? has 

 brown longitudinal centre above and l)elow. 



Epigyne an equilateral tiiangle. 



c? palpus : very small process at outer apical angle of tibia. 

 Organs are encircled l>y a l)lack spine pointing outwards at centre 

 of apex. 



General colour of prosoma dark mahogany with even darker 

 eye-frame, of opisthosoma dark grey- brown. 



J}fote. — The description is based on 1 J niid 2 $ , one of the 

 latter being much lighter in colour. The J and this $ were 

 both found at Bukit Besar, alt. 2500 ft., on tree-trunk 35 ft. from 

 ground on 6 Sept. 1901 ; the other $ at Bukit Besar.
