ANT-LIKE SPIDERS FROM MALAYA. 



313 



Falces — cephalothorax, length — 5 breadth, straight inner 

 edge, outer slightly convex, broadest at |. End concavely trun- 

 cated and facing slightly outwards so as to make inner end rather 

 pointed but not projecting. Upper edge at first flat, then rises 

 with strong convexity so as- to make it much higher at §. Lower 

 edge at first flat, then a convex step downward and flat to end . 

 Lighter colour and stippled. 



Unguis not as long as falx, reaching only to end of flat, doubly 

 curved and with distinct prominence (not, however, to be called 

 a branch) at |. Groove rather distinct, but not deep. Upper 

 teeth 4, 1 at base of unguis strong but very close and liable to 

 be missed, perhaps rather a process at end of falx ; the other 3 

 equally spaced along 2nd basal quarter. Low r er teeth 15, evenly 

 spaced, stronger than usual and, at any rate, some of them 

 alternate in size. 



Maxillce. — Shape as maxillosa. Scopula very strong, but grey.. 

 Outer portion dark, inner equally wide, light. 



Labium. — Proportions and colouring as maxillosa. Slightly 

 constricted in middle, parallel sides, and apex concave with dark 

 scopula. 



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

 dark sides, light below ; f = 2 tr, dark, with grey hairs slightly 

 curved ; p < tr, parallel sides. Ti nearly — f, short process at 

 fore, outer, lower corner, widens apically. Ta a little > ^ ti, 

 oblong. Both ti and ta are hairy, with a strong fringe on inner 

 edge. Ti=ta below. Fovea occupies a little more than basal half 

 of ta, and is surrounded by a dark hairy edge. A spine springs 

 from basal inner edge, coils up inner side round 1^ times and 

 terminates in a fine point facing forwards. Style long and looped 

 backwwds from bulb in front. 



Legs. — 4 .1.3.2, with differences more or less equal. 

 1st, c ovate, lighter than falces. 



tr < width c, lighter with dark at sides. 



f clubbed, dark, long. 



p curved — J ti, no spines, dark. 



ti dark, spines difficult, but apparently there have been 

 5 pairs all weak, of which first two are basal and medial 

 and last three fairly close at apical end. 



m = | ti, dark, 2 spine pairs much stronger than ti. 



ta — |m, dark. 

 2nd. c a little longer than broad. 



tr short, dark sides. 



f dark, more clubbed than f . 



p — ± ti, curved, dark at apex above and sides, no spines, 

 ti dark at sides, 2 spine pairs. 



m nearly | ti, light except for dark marks on sides at 



base, 2 spine pairs, 

 ta = ^ m, light. 



The tibial spines of 2nd are very strong compared with 

 those of 1st.
