Show 530 REV. O. PICKARD-CAMBRIDGE ON [Apr. 18, impressions strong and abrupt, and very forward, being just in the line with the anterior row of eyes. Clypeus broad, sides parallel, very prominent and projecting, its anterior margin truncate, and its height (or width from front to back) exceeds half that of the facial space. Colour dull orange-yellow brown, bisected longitudinally by a white, somewhat broken line, and wdth other more or less distinct white lines converging to the thoracic indentation, which appears to be placed remarkably far back. Eyes forming a broad curved area of uniform width; the anterior row shortest, the small central pair of eyes of this row smallest of the eight; all are seated on conical wmitish tubercles, those of the lateral pairs much the largest and confluent. The eyes of the anterior row are equally separated ; the hind-centrals a little farther from each other than from the hind-laterals. Lateral eyes much tbe largest. The curve of the two rows is not great, the convexity directed forwards. The central quadrangle is broader than long, and its fore-side shortest. The hind-lateral eyes are separated from each other by the width of the fore margin of the clypeus. Falces strong, prominent, conical; similar in colour to the cephalothorax. Legs long, moderately strong, 2-1-4-3, but little difference in length between 2 and 1. Spines normal, on all the joints excepting the tarsi; furnished also with numerous short, rather fine hairs, especially beneath the femora of the first and second pairs. Colour pale yellow-brown, more or less closely mottled or marbled with white, mostly so on the femora. Palpi short, yellow ; radial joint shorter than the cubital; at its extremity on the outer side is a not very long, strong apophysis, somewhat bifid and blackish at its extremity; underneath is another not so strong, rather longer, a little curved, tapering, and its obtuse extremity has a corneous appearance. Digital joint moderate in size, short-oval. Palpal organs simple, closely surrounded by a strong, tapering, black spine. Maxillce, labium, and sternum similar in colour to the legs, furnished sparingly with bristly hairs. Abdomen long, narrow, almost cylindrical, very slightly tapering at its posterior extremity. Colour dull luteous, thickly marked with white distributed so as to give a somewhat linear, white. irregularly striped appearance ; it is covered very thinly with small tubercles, from each of which as from a socket issues a prominent tapering, brownish, spine-like bristle. The hinder extremity is produced into a small kind of articulated tapering caudal prominence. Spinners short. Hab. Ceylon. Beceived many years ago from the late Mr. G. H. K. Thwaites.
