This spider make a large reticulated snare, about two feet long, in banks or among 
stones, and generally takes advantage of some hole or crevice, to which one end of the 
net is fastened, to form a retreat in time of danger. It remains generally in the middle of 
the snare, but is easily frightened, and runs with great rapidity into its den. Sparsely 
found in Singapore. 
Type in my collection.
