SECOND YARKAND MISSION. 
besides these there appear to he no more on any of the legs. Those of the third and fourth 
pairs are much the shortest, the latter being a little longer than the third. 
The palpi are short, destitute of bristles and spines, and similar to the legs in colour. 
Th e falces are short, strong, sub-conical, rather projecting, and, excepting a small patch 
bisected with a white line at their base near the outer side, of a white colour like the 
clypeus. 
The maxilla and labium are of normal form, and similar to the legs in colour. 
The sternum is oval, hollow-truncate in front, and of a whitish hue. 
The abdomen is of good size, flattened above, projecting well over the base of the eephalo- 
thorax, much broadest behind, where it is of a blunt-angular form on each side ; the form 
of the upper side is therefore somewhat quadrangular, the fore part being a little roundly 
truncated ; the sides, the fore part, and also the hinder extremity (which is abrupt) are 
rugulose and marked with rows of small impressed points ; these are most apparent as a 
margin to the fore part and sides. The five normal impressed points are visible on the fore 
half of the upper side, and the whole of the abdomen is of a uniform white colour ; the spin- 
ners are tolerably strong, very short, compact, and similar in colour to the legs. 
This spider is allied to, but quite distinct from, T. pugilis, Stoliczka, found in the 
neighbourhood of Calcutta.

The whole of the fore part of this spider is a dull pale yellow. The cephalothorax 
slightly tinged with brown, with a pale, somewhat triangular, patch at the occiput ; the 
falces also being similarly tinged. The abdomen is white, a little suffused on the sides wi 
brownish-yellow, and with a narrow, median, brownish stripe on the fore half of the upP er 
side, emitting some lateral and posterior venose lines ; the usual five impressed spots are also 
visible on the fore half of the upper side. . 
The eyes are small, and differ but little in size, the fore-laterals being rather the larges 
they are seated on white tubercles, in the form of a crescent, in two curved rows, the anterior 
beinw the shorter and more curved ; the interval between those of the hind-central I )air 
is less than that between each and the hind-lateral eye on its side, while that between ® 
fore-centrals is slightly greater than that between each and the fore-lateral next to it. 
four central eyes form a square whose posterior side is a very little longer than its anterior, 
and the interval between those of each lateral pair is less than that between the fore an 
hind-central pairs. The height of the clypeus is less than half that of the facial space. ^ ^ 
The legs of the first and second pairs are long, moderately strong, and scarcely differing j 
length ; those of the third and fourth pairs are much shorter, less strong, but also of o ca1 ^ 
equal length. Those of the second pair appear to be slightly the longest, and the third 
slightly the shortest ; all are furnished with spines, of which there are two longitu “V 
parallel rows beneath the metatarsi and tibise of the two first pairs. The metatarsi and a 
are tinged with reddish yellow-brown.
