ANT-LIKE SPIDERS FROM MALAYA. 305 



length of paturon but closer at apical end. The two rows of 

 teeth are notably crooked (text-fig. 8, b). 



Maxillce. — Length =Cj4-tr^. Outer edges parallel to end of 

 labium, then inclined outwards to well rounded coi'ner and 

 slightly convex with truncation 45° ; strong dark scopula'. Below 

 scopula inner edge hollowed in front and at sides of labium. 

 Serrula. Colour light mahogany. 



Labium. — Length > 2 breadth, parallel sides, bi'oadly and very 

 slightly constricted near apex, end slightly hollowed, dark scopula. 

 Dark mahoganj', light at apex. 



Palpi. — Spring from near base of maxilla. Tr > width 

 maxilla, f = | caput, parallel sides, somewhat reduced at ends 

 and slightly flattened, p < tr < | f , broadening to apex from 

 narrow base. Ti only a little > p above, = nearly 2 p below, 

 slightly broadened from base to apex ; short, small, blunt, light 

 straight process at outer lower apex, largish hairs on inner edge. 

 Ta a little > ti, blunt, suboblong. Fovea occupies little more 

 than basal' half. Organs have a fine black spine springing from 

 outer basal rim of fovea passing backwards and inwards with 

 double spiral, and finally pointing forward rather on inner apical 

 rim (text-fig. 8, c). 



Legs. — 4 .1 .3.2, with difference between 3 and 2 only slight. 

 1st. c length > 2 breadth, rather markedly tapering, brown, 

 tr narrower, slightly tapering, < ^ c, brown, 

 f clubbed at base, = ti, brown, darkest above, 

 p = ^ ti, slight, curved, light, shaded at sides, 

 ti 4 spine pairs, with sometimes a fifth very small, light, 



dark at sides, 

 m = Ig p, 2 spine pairs near base and apex, basal much 



largest, 

 ta < 5 m, dark. 

 2nd. c much shorter, gibbous at base, lighter. 



tr cylindrical, < ^ c, light with shaded sides. 



f < fj, only a little thicker at base than apex, lighter, but 



side-lines darker especially fore. 

 p = nearly h ti, strong especially at apex, slightly curved, 



light, 

 ti light, 3 spine pairs, 

 m = p, 2 spine pairs, light, 

 ta < g m, light. 

 3rd. c, tr, f as 2nd, but dark all over. p, ti, m, ta slightly 



lighter than these, p = ^ ti nearly, rn = ti, ta < ^m. 

 4th. c = c^, cylindrical, very slight tapering. 



tr = c, cylindrical, both c and tr lighter than 3rd and dark 



at sides. 

 f brown, nearly = p + ti. 



p > I ti, light, with dark apex above and at sides, 

 ti, brown ; m = ti nearly, slenderer, and back lighter at apex. 

 ta < i m, light.
