ANT-LIKJi SPIDERS FROM MALAYA. 313 



Falces = cephalotliorax, length = 5 breadth, straight inner 

 edge, outer slightly convex, broadest at |. End concavely trun- 

 cated and facing slightly outwards so as to make inner end rathei' 

 pointed but not projecting. Upper edge at first flat, then rises 

 with strong convexity so as to make it much higher at |. Lower 

 edge at first flat, then a convex step downward and flat to end . 

 Lighter colour and stippled. 



Unguis not as long as falx, reaching only to end of flat, doubly 

 curved and with distinct prominence (not, however, to be called 

 a branch) at g. Groove rather distinct, but not deep. Upper 

 teeth 4, 1 at base of unguis strong but very close and liable to 

 be missed, perhaps rather a process at end of falx ; the other 3 

 equally spaced along 2nd basal quarter. Lower teeth 15, evenly 

 spaced, stronger than usual and, at any rate, some of them 

 alternate in size. 



Maxillce. — Shape as maxillosa. Scopula very strong, but grey. 

 Outer portion dark, inner equally wide, light. 



Labium. — Proportions and colouring as maxillosa. Slightly 

 constricted in middle, parallel sides, and apex concave with dark 

 scopula. 



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

 dark sides, light below ; f = 2 tr, dark, with grey hairs slightly 

 curved ; p < tr, parallel sides. Ti nearly m f , short process at 

 fore, outer, lower corner, widens apically. Ta a little > | ti, 

 oblong. Both ti and ta are hairy, with a strong fringe on inner 

 edge. Ti=ta below. Fovea occupies a little more than basal half 

 of ta, and is surrounded by a dark hairy edge. A spine springs 

 from basal inner edge, coils up inner side round 1^ times and 

 terminates in a fine point facing forwards. Style long and looped 

 backwards from bulb in front. 



Legs. — 4 .1.3.2, with differences moie or less equal. 

 1st. c ovate, lighter than falces. 



tr < width c, lighter with dark at sides. 

 f clubbed, dark, long, 

 p curved i= ^ ti, no spines, dark. 



ti dark, spines diflicult, but apparently there have been 

 5 pairs all weak, of which first two are basal and medial 

 and last three fairly close at apical end. 

 m =: f ti, dark, 2 spine pairs much sti"onger than ti. 

 ta 1= I m, dark. 

 2nd. c a little longer than broad, 

 tr shoi't, dark sides. 

 f dark, more clubbed than f^. 



p 1= I ti, curved, dark at apex above and sides, no spines, 

 ti dark at sides, 2 spine pairs. 

 m nearly zz | ti, light except for dark marks on sides at 



base, 2 spine pairs, 

 ta = 5 m, light. 



The tibial spines of 2nd are very strong compared with 

 those of 1st.
