ANT-LIKE SPIDERS FItOM MALAYA. 309 



Sternum. — Short-pointed between ci.i, which are < | width 

 apa,rt, and between ci.o, extends to sides between C2.3, which are 

 very wide apart, contracted between C3.4, and the point, which is 

 not well marked, is met between C4. 4, which are not quite in 

 contact, by a very fine-pointed projection from the fore Jorum of 

 the pediceh Greatest width = c.3. Brown. 



Pedicel =^ caput, j^ > j„ very much so below; above the 

 fore lorum is slightly broader and longer than the second, below 

 much stronger and broader and extended forward into a very long 

 fine point. 



Opisthosoma. — Suljcylindrical, length = 3 or 4 breadth, broadly 

 but not deeply constricted at |. Dark green, with faint white 

 oblique markings at constriction and suggestion of white mark- 

 ings below. Lung-sacs Ijrown and wide apart. Epigastric fold 

 recurved, very clear cut. 



Ejngyne. — Im mature. 



Spinners. — 1st much thickest, barrel-shaped, dark. 2nd about 

 same length, very thin, white. 3rd about same length, vei'y 

 slightly thicker than 2nd, darkest. 



Anal tubercle. — Moderate. 



Shout Description. 



Prosoma = opisthosoma. Groove rather deep but broad, and 

 thorax not rising much behind it. Constriction appears rather 

 sharp from above, cephalic wedges slight and with a very few 

 white hairs. 



Ta of palp a little > ti. 



Legs 4.1 .3.2 with 1 and 3 nearly equal. The antei-ior legs 

 are almost white as ai"e the coxfe of 4. tr^ as long as c^ but 

 thinner, white with dark sides, c^ greatest coxa, p^ no spine, 

 tij 4 spine pairs, ti., 2 pairs. The backward point of sternum 

 met by a very long and narrow point reaching forward from 

 under side of pedicel. Legs 1 about | their width apart ; legs 4 

 not quite in contact. 



Pedicel = | caput, j^ > j.,. 



Opisthosoma subcylindrical, broad but shallow constriction 

 at 5, with faint oblique white markings sometimes evanescent. 



^ote. — Description based on 3 immature $ from Ban Sai Kau, 

 Nandock, and K. Mahek, Jalor, only one of which was in good 

 condition.
