Beckham-—The Attidae of Borneo. 
651 
the first leg is lightly fringed, and the metatarsus, which is 
white at the proximal end, is dark at the distal end, with black 
hairs. 
Length 9-11 mm. Legs 3142, first and second pairs a little 
the stoutest. 
The front eyes are close together in a straight row, the mid¬ 
dle being twice as large as the lateral. The second row is 
nearer the first than the third. The third is plainly narrower 
than the cephalothorax. The clypeus is narrow. The falx 
has one tooth on the lower, and two, close together, one larger 
than the other, on the upper margin. The spines are long, the 
first and second legs having, besides laterals, 3-3 under the 
tibiae and 2-2 under the metatarsi. 
The palpus has the tarsus about as long as the femur and 
about twice as long as the patella and tibia together. The 
femur has three stout hairs. There is no tarsal spine. 
Under alcohol the cephalothorax appears pale with a dark 
line on the margin, and with black spots around the eyes and 
in the middle of the cephalic plate. When dry, the cephalic 
part is seen to be covered with white hairs, bordered by a band 
of red hairs. The rings around the front eyes are red above 
and white below, and the hairs on the clypeus are long and 
white. Just under the lateral eyes the hairs are white, and 
below these there is a patch of red hairs. There are wide 
white bands around the sides of the cephalothorax, separated 
behind by a black band which passes upward from the margin 
of the posterior thoracic part. Under alcohol the abdomen is 
white with a brown band, darkened at the edges, down the 
middle. When dry the sides are seen to be covered with white 
hairs. The central band is also covered with white hairs ex¬ 
cept at the edges, where there are lines of black hairs. The 
falces are usually dark reddish-brown with a pale region near 
the insertion, but are sometimes all yellow. The palpus is 
pale, excepting the tarsus, which is dark reddish-brown. The 
first and second legs are darker than the third and fourth, be¬ 
ing tinged with reddish-brown. They have light double fringes 
of black hairs on the tibia, and more distinct black fringes,
