of the maxillse. The sternum is a broad shield-shape, pointed at the rear, slightly 

 hollowed in front and at the insertion of the coxse, of which the rear pair is 

 contiguous. 



The abdomen is ovate, rounded in front, obtusely pointed at the rear, nearly as 

 broad as long. It is smooth on the back and sides, but corrugated transversely 

 underneath. 



The epigyne is furnished with a broad scape projecting downwards, three times as 

 long as the bulbous base from which it springs. The scape is broad at the base, 

 narrowed and broadened again. It is four and a half times as long as broad, and 

 rounded at the anterior end. Along each side of the upper face is a slightly raised 

 margin, within which it is hollowed. 



The legs are of medium length and fairly stout. On the patella of the front two 

 pairs there is a spine at each side and one in front, and on tibia i. and ii. four pairs 

 at the sides and one above. 



The measurements (in millimetres) are as follows: —

This is one of the smaller of the numerous variations from the widely spread 

 A. productus type, but it does not seem to have been recorded before ; I have named 

 it after Mr. W. R. Ogilvie-Grant. It is near A. vatius Thor. from Amboina (' Ragni di 

 Selebes,' p. 44), which Dr. Thorell thinks may be the same as A. Mspidus Dol. ; but 

 the scapus of the epigyne is apparently longer and more wavy, and the patella wholly 

 black instead of black at the point only, the pattern of the back doubtfully similar.

Although varying in colour considerably, as mentioned both by Dr. Thorell and 

 Mr. Pocock, these specimens are without doubt the same as those identified by the
