f white, strong black side-lines, clubbed at base, = ti. 



p = ^ ti, white with dark side-lines, 1 spine pair. 



ti white with dark side-lines, 7 spine pairs, or 7 and 6, last 



3 or 4 pairs all terminating about level at end of joint, 

 m light, > p, 2 spine pairs, of which last reaches to micldle- 



of ta. 

 ta light = i m. 

 2nd. c brown, strongly swollen at centre, length = breadth. 



tr broader than long, brown except for patch of white on 



fore side. 



Other joints, proportions, and colours as 1st, but are slightly 



greater in proportion, and ta only slightly < m. 

 ti has 3 spine pairs, m 2 pairs. 

 3rd. c a little > e 2 , brown. 



tr short, cylindrical, brown. 



f > ti < p + ti, brown, very slightly clubbed at base, 

 p = iti, curved downward, light except above apical end. 

 ti brown, slender, slightly lighter at end. 

 m nearly = ti, light, darker shading at basal sides, 

 ta = | m, light. 

 4th. c < c x , brown except for light below. 



tr much longest, white with dark basal side-markings,. 



cylindrical, > c. 

 f brown, slightly clubbed. 



p white except for brown above at base and apex, =| ti. 

 ti brown, lightest at apex, 

 m brown, nearly = ti. 

 ta white, < ^ m. 



The light p x and t\\ and tr 4 are very noticeable, as also the dark 

 side-lines on the light anterior legs. 



Sternum. — Blunt-pointed behind ci . i, which are about ^ their 

 width apart, and between C2.3. Wider and pointed close behind 

 c 2 , attempt at a point at c 3 , and then tapers to long point in 

 front of C4.4, which are in contact. At widest point = c 2 . Colour 

 dark mahogany. 



Pedicel. — Short = | caput, rather stout. Joints about equal, 

 first very slightly longer. 



Opisthosoma. — Middle thickest, constricted at ^. Brownish 

 green with white transverse band at constriction, somewhat 

 lighter below, with longitudinal central portion bordered by faint 

 white lines from epigyne to spinners. Lung-sacs dark, wide 

 apart. Epigastric fold procurved. 



Epigyne. — A lighter semicircle in front of epigastric fold, in 

 the centre of which is a dark marking somewhat hourglass-shape 

 (text-fig. 7, b). 



Spinners. — 1st brown, thickness slightly greater at base than 

 apex. 2nd longer, thinnest, lighter, cylindrical. 3rd as light as 

 2nd, slightly thicker, subcylindrical.
