ARANEUS FLORIATUS, sp. n, 
Differs from A. pfeifferi Thor. and JA. ferruginea Thor. (‘ Ragni di Selebes, 
pp. 35, 38), besides a more elaborate back pattern, in having the median eye-area 
broader than long instead of longer than broad, and the median eyes distant from 
the side eyes by twice instead of three times their distance between one another, 
also scape of epigyne four times as long as its greatest breadth instead of twice. 
2 females, 1 male. Length 17 mm. 
ARANEUS GRANTI, sp. n. 
Differs from A. vatius Thor. (loc. cit. supra, p. 41), which it rather closely 
resembles, in having the front median eyes their diameter apart instead of much 
more. The sternum is bright cream-colour instead of dark yellow-brown. The 
scape of the epigyne issues from the upper part of the corpus instead of the lower 
margin, is 23 times as long as the width of the corpus instead of twice, and in the 
middle widens to twice its narrowest part above instead of being straight, four times 
instead of twice as long as broad. 
1 female. Length 125 mm. 
LEUCAUGE CAUDATA, Sp. n. 
Differs from Araneus caudifer Kule., which it rather resembles, in its smaller 
size, the,legs only half as long, its colouring silvery imstead of reddish brown, the 
year median eyes half their diameter apart instead of more than their diameter, so 
that the area of the median eyes is narrowest instead of widest posteriorly. ‘The 
epigyne has a bulbous base, wanting in the other, but a shorter scape. 
Length 8 mm. 
REGILLUS DIVERGENS, sp. n. 
Differs from R. asper Camb. in its larger size, the eyes of the rear row slightly 
recurved instead of straight, equidistant instead of median nearer together than they 
are from the side, thus forming with the front median eyes a square instead of 
trapezium narrowest posteriorly. 
Length 12 mm. 
OLIOS PRINCEPS, sp. n. 
Cephalothorax chestnut-red with pale red-brown bristles and hair. Abdomen 
pale yellow-brown with faint median and branching stripes of a darker colour, short 
longitudinal flecks of the same on the sides merging into longer underneath to form 
a shield-shaped pattern, above and just below the genital fold dark brown, on the 
latter a streak of white. Mandibles, lip, and maxille black-brown; sternum bright 
red, legs and palpi bright red-brown with brown hairs, that on the coxe black- 
brown. Vulva a broad chitinous horseshoe-frame, widely open at the base, the 
hollowed inner area indistinctly divided by a median longitudinal fovea. 
1 female. Length 23 mm. 
OLIOS ACTHON, sp. n. 
Differs from Olios salacius L. K. in having the median eyes of the rear row 
(which is slightly procurved) distinctly farther apart than they are from the front 
median. The sternum bright yellow with eight black hair-spots ranged round just 
inside the margin instead of brownish yellow with white hair-stripes, pattern on 
underside of abdomen like Olios (Het.) diana L. K. Five large teeth and one 
smaller on the inner falx-margin and two on the outer, instead of three and one 
respectively. The palp is furnished with a spiral of ten turns round the usual drum. 
It is also rather smaller. 
1lmale. Length 133 mm. 
PALYSTES DASYURINUS, sp. n. 
Differs from P. ignicomus L. K. in having ten white hair-spots on black shield 
on underside of the abdomen, front median eyes their diameter apart and half that 
distance from the laterals, three large teeth and one rather smaller on inner margin 
of falx-sheath, one large between two smaller on outer—a single, long, curved bristle 
on upper inner margin of falx. 
lfemale. Length 25 mm. 
HETEROPODA VENATORIA Linn., var. PLURIDENTATA, Noy. 
Differs from usual form in having five large teeth and one smaller on inner 
margin of falx-sheath, one medium-sized and two smaller on outer margin. 
2 females.
