This spider has considerable resemblance to Z. iongimatwSy L. Kochj but differs in 
the shape of the falces when looked at from in front, which, in the latter species, are 
rounded, and in having the large front eyes dose to the margin of the clypcus, but more 
especially in the length of the palpi. In L, loftgimanus the jxilpi are as long as the 
anterior legs. 
Z. ru^r has a much narrower abdomen, but I think it is contracted owing to the 
strength of the spirit in which it is preser\'ed 
One specimen only has been found by me. It was sitting on the lower side of a leaf 
with its long anterior legs stretched out in front, resembling a prawn or lobster. 
Type in my collection.
