The abdomen is oval, pointed behind ; on the upper side is a broad, longitudinal central 
slightly tapering yellowish hand, spotted with small cretaceous-wliite spots, and showing the 
normal marking on the fore part of a clearer, though slightly brown, colour, and of an 
elongate diamond-shape; the marginal portions of the upper part are marked with blackish - 
brown oblique linear markings, which extend more or less over the sides. These parts, as well 
as the under side, are similar in colour to the middle of the upper side ; the under side 
having a broad, well-defined, longitudinal, median, black-brown hand, marked along the middle 
with pale yellowish. The genital aperture is small but of characteristic form.

122. Heliophantjs dubius. 
lleliophanus duhius, E. Simon, Arachnides de France, tom. iii, p. 146, pi. x., fig. 4. 
I have not been able yet to compare this spider ( d adult) with a type of R. dubim, 
Sim., but I believe it to be identical with that species, as it agrees well with the figures and 
description given l. c. 
Rab . — Hi lls between Sirikol and Aktalla, 8th to 18th May 1874. 
Genus— PLEXIPPUS, C. L. Koch.

Rab . — Both sexes of this spider, differing in no respect from examples found in Egypt, 
and received from Bombay, were contained in the portion of the collection without date or

Adult male : length rather over 2-| lines. 
The ceplialothorax is of a flattened form with a strong transverse depression indicating 
the junction of the caput and thorax. The upper area of the caput is black, the rest of the 
ceplialothorax is dark yellowish-brown, paler towards the margins. 
It is clothed with hairs mostly of a golden hue, a longitudinal median stripe and a 
marginal one on each side being furnished with white hairs ; the marginal stripe is formed of 
two narrow parallel ones. There are also some prominent bristly hairs on the cephalotho- 
rax, strongest on the sides of the ocular area, below which three of them form a longitu- 
dinal line.
