    Description: INTRODUCTION\nAmong the spiders, obtained during our 1979 collecting trip to Borneo by sieving leaf-litter in various forest types, the armored spiders of the families Pacullidae and Tetrablemmidae were among the most numerous and diversified. The excellent paper by Shear ( 1978) treating these families exhaustively greatly facilitated a classification of these spiders.\nSix new species are here described from Borneo, four in the Pacullidae and two in the Tetrablemmidae, in each of these families a new genus had to be erected for part of these species. Furthermore, this paper includes a description of a new Tetrablemmid, collected by Dr. L. van der Hammen in West Irian (New Guinea) in 1953/54 and a redescription of Brignoliella bicornis (Simon) from Luzon, Philippines.\nThe new material justifies Shear\'s division of the six-eyed armored spiders with abdominal rings into Pacullidae and Tetrablemmidae, as all taxa can easily be assigned to either of these two families and no intermediate forms were found. It is noteworthy that each of the species of the larger Pacullidae was found on a single locality only, whereas the Tetrablemmid Ablemma species was collected over a larger area.\nThanks are due to Dr. L. van der Hammen of the Leiden Museum of Natural History for making available to me the museum\'s material from West Irian, and to Dr. P. J. van Helsdingen of this museum for reading the manuscript and making useful comments.\nPACULLIDAE Simon Of the eight species hitherto known, all from Southeast Asia, only one has been described adequately from both sexes: Paculla kraui Shear.

    Description: INTRODUCTION\nEn 1962, 1963 et 1964, mon mari, Monsieur P. Robert Deeieman et moi, nous avons entrepris des voyages en Yougoslavie, dont le but principal fut la capture d\'animaux cavernicoles. Dans les eaux souterraines et superficielles nous avons r\xc3\xa9colt\xc3\xa9 cinq esp\xc3\xa8ces du genre Asellus Geoffroy, dont une sous-esp\xc3\xa8ce nouvelle de A. coxalis, qui sera d\xc3\xa9crite aux pages suivantes.\nDans la collection du Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie \xc3\xa0 Leiden se trouvent un nombre d\'Asellides, recueillis par un groupe d\'\xc3\xa9tudiants au cours d\'une exp\xc3\xa9dition zoologique et botanique en Turquie en 1959 (Anonymus, 1963). En examinant ce mat\xc3\xa9riel j\'ai trouv\xc3\xa9 une deuxi\xc3\xa8me nouvelle sous-esp\xc3\xa8ce de A. coxalis, dont la description va suivre ci-dessous. D\'abord une d\xc3\xa9finition morphologique de la lign\xc3\xa9e de Asellus coxalis est donn\xc3\xa9e avec une liste aussi compl\xc3\xa8te que possible de toutes les formes d\xc3\xa9crites jusqu\'\xc3\xa0 pr\xc3\xa9sent. Quelques conclusions biog\xc3\xa9ographiques y seront rattach\xc3\xa9es.\nEnsuite une enumeration du mat\xc3\xa9riel sera donn\xc3\xa9e avec la description des formes nouvelles.\nLa lign\xc3\xa9e de Asellus (Proasellus) coxalis Dollfus, 1892 Le sous-genre Proasellus, qui fut originellement \xc3\xa9rig\xc3\xa9 par Dudich (1925b) pour la lign\xc3\xa9e de A. meridianus Racovitza, 1919, consiste en r\xc3\xa9alit\xc3\xa9 d\'un nombre de lign\xc3\xa9es. L\'A. meridianus occupe une position assez isol\xc3\xa9e au sein du sous-genre, sa seule parente connue \xc3\xa9tant, il para\xc3\xaet, l\'esp\xc3\xa8ce portugaise A. xavieri Braga, 1956.\nDans la lign\xc3\xa9e de A. coxalis se rangent les esp\xc3\xa8ces A. coxalis Dollfus, 1892 (emend.

    Description: The study of tropical spiders was taken up in the last part of the nineteenth century by Thorell, Simon and others, but since then passed through a long dormant stage. Only during the last few decades there was some revival. In particular numerous spider species from leaf-litter, ground debris, etc. have been described after collecting by special methods such as sieving, Berlese funnels and pitfall trapping.\nSpiders from another common habitat in South East Asian rainforests, the underside of leaves, seem to have been inadequately treated in older publications. Certain spiders, e.g. pholcids and clubionids, do not readily drop when disturbed, but stick firmly to their leaf substrate or escape sideways through twigs and branches. At present there is no adequate collecting method for this category of leaf-inhabiting spiders but to turn thousands of leaves one by one and pick them off by hand. The particular way of collecting must be the only reason why most species, which we thus collected during several visits to South East Asia, appear to be new to science. These new species were collected in various types of dense, humid forest in Borneo (Sabah and Kalimantan), Java, Sulawesi, Sri Lanka, Malay Peninsula and Luzon, and by F. R. Wanless in Sarawak, V.\nE. Davies and collaborators in North East Queensland, and J. R. Thomson in Kalimantan. Collecting efforts in the areas mentioned have been very rewarding and this leads to the expectation that in the areas mentioned and also in Sumatra, New Guinea and the Philippine Islands many species of Pholcidae still await discovery. Special attention should be given yet to spiders living in the canopy. There may be a considerable amount of endemism in this spider group and it is to be feared that many species will have become extinct by the wholesale destruction of Asian rainforests even before their discovery.

    Description: A NEW SPECIES OF SULCIA\nIn 1962, Dresco described the first representative of the genus Sulcia from the Greek mainland, Sulcia lindbergi. Recently, Brignoli (1968a) considered this species a subspecies of Sulcia cretica Fage. The genus is also known from Dalmatia, Hercegovina, Montenegro, and some adjacent islands (Kratochvil, 1938) and from the Island of Crete (Fage, 1945).\nIn January 1969, my husband P. R. Deeleman, had the opportunity to visit the Koutouki Cave near the village of Ljopessi (officially also called Peania), situated at approximately 20 km west of Athens. This visit was made possible by the assistance of Mrs. A. Petrochilos and Mr. A. Kanellis, to whom we feel very much obliged. In this cave a new species of Sulcia was collected. The cave was discovered fairly recently; it has been exploited as a show cave with electric illumination since 1962. The spiders were found in the huge main chamber, where they were hanging in their webs in crevices in the wall or between stalagmites. The cave is also inhabitied by bats, terrestrial isopods, diplopods and Orthoptera (Dolichopoda petrochilosi Chopard). The original entrance is a vertical shaft of about 15 meters, it has been made accessible for tourism by an artificial entrance.\nSulcia kanellisi new species (figs. 1, 2, 4a, 6b, 7) Material. \xe2\x80\x94 1 \xe2\x99\x82 (holotype), 6 \xe2\x99\x80, 2 subad. \xe2\x99\x82, 3 subad. \xe2\x99\x80, Koutouki Cave near Ljopessi, Greece, 11 January, 1969, leg.

    Description: All oxyopid spider species collected in a long-term ecological canopy project in northern Borneo are described. A total of nine species in three genera could be established, one of which belongs to a new genus. Four species could be assigned to known species, five are described as new species in the cosmotropical genus Hamataliwa. Description of one new species has been added from the ground collection. One species of Oxyopes was synonimised with Hamataliwa incompta (Thorell, 1895). H. helia Chamberlin, 1929, known hitherto only from southern U.S.A. and Mexico was found in the Bornean canopy. With nine species, Oxyopidae rank 10th on the list of 33 families in the Bornean canopy project.\nTapponia micans Simon, 1885, typus generis is redescribed from the Bornean canopy, all other Tapponia species listed in the World Spider Catalog are unrelated to this species and are removed from Tapponia. Five species are transferred to Hamataliwa, nine remaining species previously classified in the genus Tapponia are transferred to the new genus Hamadruas. All but one species placed in Hamadruas are \xe2\x80\x9cold\xe2\x80\x9d species, described in the 19th century; no new species are added to this genus, the type species and two others are redescribed, one of which (H. superba (Thorell, 1887)) from the Bornean tree canopy. For most of the canopy species additional records are given from hand-collected material from other localities in Borneo, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and British Guyana. The genus Megullia Thorell, 1898 (type species M. truncata Thorell, 1898 from Burma) is synonymised with Hamataliwa.\nAn identification key is provided for the genera Oxyopes, Tapponia, Hamataliwa, Peucetia and Hamadruas gen. nov.\nNine immature specimens of a Hamataliwa species were found inside shells of living snails of the genus Alycaeus (Cyclophoridae), suspended with long thin lines on limestone walls. It is not known whether spiders produced the lines and attached them for some unknown purpose or whether the snails did it themselves. How they haul themselves up from their pending position remains to be investigated.

    Description: Depreissia is a little known genus comprising two hymenopteran-mimicking species, one found in Central \nAfrica and one in the north of Borneo. The male of D. decipiens is redescribed, the female is described for \nthe first time. The carapace is elongated, dorsally flattened and rhombus-shaped, the rear of the thorax \nlaterally depressed and transformed, with a pair of deep pits; the pedicel is almost as long as the abdomen. \nThe male palp is unusual, characterized by the transverse deeply split membranous tegulum separating a \nventral part which bears a sclerotized tegular apophysis and a large dagger-like retrodirected median apophysis. The female epigyne consists of one pair of large adjacent spermathecae and very long copulatory \nducts arising posteriorly and rising laterally alongside the spermathecae continuing in several vertical and \nhorizontal coils over the anterior surface. Relationships within the Salticidae are discussed and an affinity \nwith the Cocalodinae is suggested. Arguments are provided for a hypothesis that D. decipiens is not antmimicking as was previously believed, but is a mimic of polistinine wasps. The species was found in the \ncanopy in the Kinabalu area only, in primary and old secondary rainforest at 200\xe2\x80\x93700 m.a.s.l. Overlap of \ncanopy-dwelling spider species with those in the understorey are discussed and examples of species richness and endemism in the canopy are highlighted. Canopy fogging is a very efficient method of collecting \nfor most arthropods. The canopy fauna adds an extra dimension to the known biodiversity of the tropical \nrainforest. In southeast Asia, canopy research has been neglected, inhibiting evaluation of comparative \nresults of this canopy project with that from other regions. More use of fogging as a collecting method \nwould greatly improve insight into the actual species richness and species distribution in general.
