dc.description.abstractThe Ceylon Hunting Spider, Poecilothermia casciata and the giant Ceylon Centipede, Scolopendra moristants are two arthropods of Sri Lanka which can cause poisonous effects in man. Pharmacologically active substances common to the venom of both were 5HT and histamine. The venom of the spider contained a neuromuscular stimulant.
