Présentation de l'éditeur
This volume contains descriptions of all the species of A racbnida of the orders Scorpiones (S corpions), Uropygi (W hip-S corpions), A inblypygi, Solifugae, and of most of the larger and otherwise conspicuous species of A ranese (true Spide-rs) known to occur in British I ndia, Burma, and Ceylon, together with diagnoses of the genera, families, and suborders into which they fall. The only innovation introduced into the usually accepted classification of these groups is the ordinal separation of the Uropygi and A inblypygi, which are generally united as one order Pedipalpi. All the described species of the first four orders are dealt with in full. The A ranete, however, are less thoroughly treated, only the larger forms being included in the present work. These embrace all the Mygalomorplue, a group comprising the species commonly known as Mygales and Trap-door Spiders, all of which are of medium or large size, and also a relatively small number of the described species of A rachnomorpha). This latter group contains a vat number of species and is still very imperfectly known so imperfectly that no satisfactory account of it can at present be given. All that has been attempted is to afford means of identifying the larger, commoner, better known and more widely distributed forms. As regards size no species which when adult falls short of 5mm.
