Habitat. — Sikkim, Chittagong Hill Tracts, Burma, Mergui, ]\[alay Peninsula, 

 Java, Borneo, Nias. 



Distribution. — We have it from Nias, Elwes records it from the Karen Hills, 

 de Niceville from Sikkim, Rangoon, and Yimiki, King Island, Mergui Archipelago, 

 Distant from the Malay Peninsula, Druce from Borneo, Doherty from Myitla, Burma 

 and Barakhal in the Chittagong Hill Tracts ; he says the egg is small, green, with 

 tetragonal reticulations and short truncate spines, and also that the male prehensores 

 are remarkable in having the short clasps soldered to the long intromittent organ ; 

 though widely distributed, the species is always scarce. The type came from Maulmein, 

 it is in the B. M. also from Pegu ; our description and figures are from examples from 

 the Karen Hills.
