pennltimd paulo longiore, aliis subapicalibiis brevibus. Styli caudales 

 vix oblongi. [Abdomen Z-articulatum.~] 



Female .-—Front truncate. Cephalothorax four-jointed, rounded be- 

 hind. Superior eyes a little separate, inferior quite small. Ante- 

 rior antennae nearly as long as the body, the two after the curve 

 at base in the same straight line, the tips curving forward, yet but 

 little anterior to line of front, setae rather short, a crowded tuft 

 towards base, and one seta longer than the others proceeding from the 

 second joint, apical setae as long as joint, posterior penult a little 

 longer, other subapical setae short. Caudal stylets short, hardly 

 longer than broad. [Abdomen three-jointed, first segment elongate.]

Collected, March 3, 1842, latitude 4° 20' south, longitude 106° 

 east, southeast of Sumatra. 



Length, one-sixteenth of an inch. Colour, pale brownish. The 

 cephalothorax is broadest posterior to middle, and the front is strik- 

 ingly truncate between the antennae. The anterior antennae are in 

 the same straight line, excepting the curves at base and apex. The 

 longer seta near base is moveable in every direction; its length is 

 about equal to the first three joints of the antenna. The shorter branch 

 of the posterior antennae is hardly a fourth shorter than the other. 

 The pigment of the inferior eyes is quite small, and is seen in a ver- 

 tical view, sometimes behind and sometimes beneath the superior 

 eyes. There are metallic reflections from the pigment of the superior 

 eyes. The caudal stylets are but little longer than broad. 



This species is near Pontella crispata, but has the head laterally 

 armed, the antennae not thrown so much forward, and other diffe- 

 rences. 



Pontella frivola. — Plate 81, fig. 7. This may be only a variety of 

 the last, as the general form is the same, the laterally armed head, 

 the length, position, form, and terminal setae of the anterior antennae, 

 the posterior antennae, the position and size of the eyes. Yet, the pos- 

 terior angles of the cephalothorax are rather long acute, while there are
