Hong Kong Spiders
ΙΟΙ
Argyrodes fissifrons was found within Hong Kong presumably, but unfortunately no locality was sent with the two specimens, both female,
received.
Cambridge reported his specimens from Ceylon where I also have taken them. When alive these spiders are small red and white forms with black legs. I found them all on the large web of Nephila malabarensis.
A. inguinalis and A. procrastinans are synonyms.
A. fissifrons is reported from Burma by Thorell. Simon mentions at least 80 species of this genus, some twenty of which belong to Tropical Asia. He records as species Argyrodes argyrodes as having the same dis- tribution as Cyrtophora citricola on whose web it is a parasite.
