Peckham—The Attidae of Borneo. 609 
In the male, the ground color of the cephalothorax is reddish- 
brown. Our example is somewhat rubbed, but there seems to 
have been a covering of bright red hairs. A transverse snow- 
white band crosses the cephalic part just in front of the dorsal 
eyes, and far back on each side of the thoracic part is a large 
oval spot of pale golden hairs, ringed with black. Under alcohol, 
the abdomen is pale, mottled with dark streaks, but when dry 
it shows pale golden hairs covering the front end, with a black 
band low down on the anterior border, a middle region with 
some bright red hairs, which, perhaps, completely covered it 
in a fresh state, and a somewhat triangular golden region be¬ 
hind, outlined in black. The first leg hjasi the patella brown 
and the tarsus pale, but is otherwise dark. There is a black 
fringe under the femur and a slighter one under the tibia. The 
other legs are pale with dark rings. The palpus is pale ex¬ 
cept the tarsus, which is brown, and has long white hairs on 
the femur. 
The female is much like the male, although the abdomen 
seems to have been covered with a mixture of red and white 
hairs. The legs are brown with pale tarsi, the first having a 
slight fringe under the tibia. The palpus is all brown, the 
tarsus having some dark hairs and one long spine on the out¬ 
side, behind the middle. 
One male and two females, from Sarawak.

The cephalothorax is moderately high and is very slightly 
inclined in both directions from the dorsal eyes, the thoracic 
part falling more steeply in the second half. The sides are 
parallel and nearly vertical in front, but grow narrow from 
the dorsal eyes backward. The quadrangle of the eyes is wider 
behind than in front, is nearly twice as wide as long, and oc¬ 
cupies two-fifths of the cephalothorax. The front eyes are all 
separated and form a row which is curved downward, the 
middle being less than twice as large as the lateral. The second 
row is about halfway between the others, and the third row is
