Show 532 ON NEW EXOTIC ARANEIDEA. [Apr. 18, ing black, mixed with yellowish brown ; along each side is a very distinct cream-white marginal line, followed by others along the rugulose sides, parallel but finer and less distinct. The underside is deep brown. Probably a series of this Spider would show various differences in the proportionate length of the abdomen, as well as in the depth of its colour and in its markings. In one example examined the abdomen was black, the marginal white line on each side represented only by three slender linear white spots. Three examples of this very distinct and striking species were sent to m e from Ceylon by M r . Ernest E. Green. EXPLANATION OF THE PLATES. PLATE XXIX. Fig. 1.
