rather unequal, in two nearly straight parallel rows, spanning the greater
part of the width of the caput; clypeus flattened and prominent, exterior
eyes on either side seated on a strongish tubercular elevation. Maxillce
rather long, strong, enlarged at their bases; curved and inclined over the
labium, which is short and somewhat semicircular. Sternum rather long,
kite-shaped, truncated at the sharp end. Legs long, slender, sparingly furnished
with hairs and slender bristles ; tarsi very short, ending wdth 3 claws;
rel. length of legs, 1, 4, 2, 3.—Moneta spinigera, Ceylon, sp. n., 0. P. Cambridge,
P. Z. S. 1870, p. 736, pi. xliv. fig. 5, who assigns Moneta, together
with Scytodes, Latr., and Omosita (Walck.), to Thevidides, as a subfamily
(Scytodina), Cambr. I. c. [On subsequent investigation their truer
position seems to be that assigned here].

species, and chiefly to its poisonous qualities. [It is very nearly allied to, if
not identical with, I. scelio, Thor. cit. supra.]

caput large, abnormally elevated and convex, rounded on all sides, and projecting
