$ . Very closely allied to S. cervina, Pure. (Ann. S. A. Mus., 

 v. 1, p. 415, 1899), but distinctly differing in the structure of the apex 

 of the flagellum. 



Head-plate as in cervina, but more thickly covered all over with 

 long hairs and bristles; the ocular tubercle with about 10 con- 

 spicuous setae on anterior surface, besides a few, fine, short setae and 

 hairs. 



Chelicera as in cervina ; the distal tooth of upper jaw somewhat

smaller than the second tooth. The flagellum also similar, excepting 

 that the sharply-pointed, curved, apical spur * is replaced by a more 

 complicated expanded lobe (a, fig. 2). This lobe is laterally com- 

 pressed, and appears broadly ovate with rounded apex when seen 

 from the side (fig. 2A), while on the outer side it is provided with a 



* In cervina this spur is really composed of 2 spurs so closely appressed that they 

 appear at first sight to form only one piece. In the type there is a slight cleft 

 separating the apices of the double spur.
