D^SIA SCHREINERI, n. Sp. 



(PL I., fig. 11.) 



Types. 1 nearly mature ? and 1 ad. $ (No. 8783) from Hanover, 

 1 ad. ? (No. 9775) from Eierfontein, 1 ad. $ (No. 9765) and 1 

 nearly mature ? (No. 9783) from Palmietfontein, and 1 ad. 3 (No. 

 9776) from Vlagkop (ad. $ in December, 3 3 in October and 

 December). 



5 5 . Head-plate resembling that of Iclpoldti, Pure., in colour, 

 but with the long setae slightly stronger and more conspicuous, 

 especially on the anterior side of the eye-tubercle, which bears, in 

 addition to a number of fine setae, 3 pairs of long conspicuous spines 

 (forming part of the semicircular row round each eye), the upper 

 pair being setiform and the distance between the middle (stoutest) 

 pair at most only slightly exceeding half the distance between the 

 eyes. 



Chelicercs pale yellowish or pale ochraceous, the dorsal infuscated 

 stripes not expanded nor united distally, the inner stripe less distinct 

 than the outer one, the dorsal surface marmorate on each side of 

 the outer stripe ; the lateral surface not marmorate, with a feeble 

 infuscate stripe at base. Jaws normal, the dentition as in kolbei, 

 Pure., except that there is always only one intermediate tooth 

 above ; the distal upper tooth smaller than the second. 



Abdomen. Tergites with a narrow median infuscate band and on 

 each side a broad infuscate lateral patch. Soft skin on each side with 

 a long transverse row of 4-7 short, strongly curved, claw-like spines 

 near the anterior margin in segments I and II ; with a group of 1-4 

 similar spines (becoming longer posteriorly) in 1-2 rows in the upper 

 part in segments III- VI or III-V and with a pair of long subseti- 

 form spines on each side in segment IX (a similar inferior spine 

 sometimes present in segment VIII and a shorter superior one some- 

 times in segment VII) ; segment X without spines ; also an inferior 

 transverse row of 4-6 small curved spines near hind margin in 

 segment III and adjoining these in the lower anterior part of the sides 

 in segment IV is a transverse row of 4-8 parallel longitudinal ridges. 

 All the curved spines on segments I- VI are curved backwards, and
