The inferior spinnerets are conical with a short hemispherical second joint, the 

 superior about the same length, but more cylindrical. The epigyne is a transverse 

 depression in an oval frame lying on a low circular prominence. There are two small 

 hollows, one at each end of the oval above it, with a protuberance in their centres.

This would appear to be rather near Dr. Doleschall's Bicea dilatata [Thomisus 

 dilatatus) from Amboina, but the meagreness of his description makes it impossible to 

 distinguish his species with certainty. His drawing including the tarsal claws closely 

 resembles the present species, but shows a black area on the posterior end of the 

 abdomen. Here there are two black stripes with a lighter stripe between them. 

 He says the two rows of eyes are equally recurved, which is not far from being the 

 case. Thorell, who refers two specimens from Amboina doubtfully to this species, 

 did not redescribe them as was his usual habit.
