MR. H. D. BADCOCK ON 



cylindrical, straight or very slightly curved, with slight dusky 

 shading at sides ; p = | £ > tr, slightly wider at apex than base ; 

 ti < p but much thicker and more hairy ; ta > ti, joint between 

 the two somewhat curved, p, ti, and ta all have hairy fringes on 

 both sides, increasing from very slight at p to strong on ta ; on 

 back they are greenish. Ta and ti are slightly flattened, but not 

 nearly to the same extent as Myrmarachne, and the joint between 

 them is quite distinct. 



Legs. — 4 =: 1-3-2, but measurements not good and either 4 or 1 

 may be the longer. 



1st. c length — 2| width — nearly width of sternum, light, 

 cylindrical, 

 tr — 1| c, cylindrical, a little darker. 



f long, clubbed at base, slender, darker, and very dark at one 

 side below. 



p — sternum > f, slenderer, dark below, light at end ; this 



extraordinarily long patella is the most characteristic 



feature of the genus, 

 ti < p, with angle half way, after which it becomes stouter 



and bends outwards. 5 spine pairs beginning at angle, all 



are strong, 1st reaches more than half way to apex, and 



remainder all end level with apex, 

 m very short, < tr. 2 spine pairs, 1st very strong, springing 



from middle and reaching well beyond 2nd, which springs 



from end and reaches to mid ta. Joint about as stout as 



end of ti. 

 ta = 1^- m, lighter and slighter. 

 2nd. c < c l5 white. 



tr =: | c, light, with black blotch at lower apex. 



f . very slightly if at all clubbed at base, the black of tr is 



carried up as a strong black line below or rather to the 



side of whole length of joint, 

 p — \ f , slightly curved and stouter at apex, 

 ti — 2 p, slender, 

 m = f ti ; ta missing. 

 3rd. c a little shorter and stouter than c r 

 tr — h c 



f very slightly, if at all, clubbed at base, slightly clouded at 

 sides. 



p, ti, m as 2, but slightly stouter, 

 ta — h m. 



4th. c very strong, slightly broader at base than apex, longer 

 than c T , stouter than c 3 . 

 tr > c and > tr r 

 Remaining joints as 3. 

 All tarsi have claw-tufts and two pectinate claws. 



Sternum. — Shield-shaped, with expanded ears at front. Ci .i are 

 wide apart, springing from opposite the ears; ci.a is broad, 

 nearly r= breadth c. ( , c„ c. ( less, c 3 c 4 least, C4.4 in contact, sternum
