ANT-LIKE SPIDP:RS FROM MALAYA. 



305 



length of paturon but closer at apical end. The two rows of 

 teeth are notably crooked (text-fig. 8, b)* 



Maxillce. — Length =^4-^. Outer edges parallel to end of 

 labium, then inclined outwards to well rounded corner and 

 slightly convex with truncation 45° ; strong dark scopula. Below 

 scopula inner edge hollowed in front and at sides of labium. 

 Serrula. Colour light mahogany. 



Labium. — Length > 2 breadth, parallel sides, broadly and very 

 slightly constricted near apex, end slightly hollowed, dark scopula. 

 Dark mahogany, light at apex. 



Palpi. — Spring from near base of maxilla. Tr > width 

 maxilla, f = h caput, parallel sides, somewhat reduced at ends 

 and slightly flattened, p < tr < | f , broadening to apex from 

 narrow base. Ti only a little > p above, = nearly 2p below, 

 slightly broadened from base to apex ; short, small, blunt, light 

 straight process at outer lower apex, largish hairs on inner edge. 

 Ta a little > ti. blunt, suboblong. Fovea occupies little more 

 than basal half. Organs have a fine black spine springing from 

 outer basal rim of fovea passing backwards and inwards with 

 double spiral, and finally pointing forward rather on inner apical 

 rim (text-fig. 8, c). 



Legs. — 4 .1.3.2, with difference between 3 and 2 only slight. 



1st. c length > 2 breadth, rather markedly tapering, brown, 

 tr narrower, slightly tapering, < ^ c, brown, 

 f clubbed at base, = ti, brown, darkest above, 

 p = 3 ti, slight, curved, light, shaded at sides, 

 ti 4 spine pairs, with sometimes a fifth very small, light, 

 dark at sides. 



m = 1| p, 2 spine pairs near base and apex, basal much 



largest, 

 ta < k m, dark. 

 2nd. c much shorter, gibbous at base, lighter. 



tr cylindrical, < ^ c, light with shaded sides. 



f < f 1? only a little thicker at base than apex, lighter, but 



side-lines darker especially fore, 

 p = nearly \ ti, strong especially at apex, slightly curved, 



liodit. 



ti light, 3 spine pairs. 



m = p, 2 spine pairs, light. 



ta < \ m, light. 



3rd. c, tr, f as 2nd, but dark all over. p, ti, m, ta slightly 



lighter than these, p = ^ ti nearly, m = ti, ta < | m. 

 4th. c = c x , cylindrical, very slight tapering. 



tr = c, cylindrical, both c and tr lighter than 3rd and dark 



at sides, 

 f brown, nearly = p + ti. 



p > \ ti, light, with dark apex above and at sides. 



ti, brown ; m = ti nearly, slenderer, and back lighter at apex. 



ta < |m, light.
