and stout spinules scattered over the surface, the posterior segments 

 with cylindrical setae instead of spines. Spines on the metatarsus as 

 in the $ but shorter, the tibiae with a row of 4 spines below, besides 

 a longer, slenderer, proximal one. Dentition of chelicerae normal, 

 with one intermediate tooth above. Second abdominal segment 

 injured below. 



Total length 13 \ mm. 



This species is closely allied to B. karrooica, Pure. (Ann. S. A. 

 Mus., r. 2, p. 216), and B. sctifem, Poc. (Ann. Mag. N. H., ser. 7, v. 5,

Types. 3 ? ? (measuring from 10-124- mm. in length) from 

 Hanover (No. 9459) and Eierfontein (No. 10053) (September and 

 January). 



5 2 Colour. Carapace, chelicerae and limbs pale yellowish 

 olivaceous, the yellow predominating in some parts, the green in 

 others, the lateral edges and median longitudinal line of the cephalic 

 portion darkened ; abdomen pale yellowish, the upper side more or 

 less dark purplish ; sternum, coxae, and often parts of the legs, pale 

 yellowish ; spines on the legs black. 



Carapace wide, its length (measured laterally to the ocular area) a 

 little less than that of the tibia, metatarsus and tarsus of first leg, but 

 considerably less than that of the tibia and metatarsus of fourth leg 

 in largest $ . Ocular area almost 2^- times as wide as long, its width 

 a little less than the length of the metatarsus of first leg ; the anterior 

 row of eyes with its hind margin only very slightly procurved (when 

 seen from above), the lateral eyes much larger, their diameter 2-2^ 

 times that of the small median eyes ; posterior row strongly recurved, 

 the eyes smaller than the anterior medians, equal to each other or 

 the laterals slightly larger, the medians distant about their own 

 diameter or slightly less from the laterals, which again are separated 

 from the anterior laterals by scarcely more than a long diameter of 

 the latter. 



Legs. Tarsi I and II with minute setae below in rows ; III densely 

 studded below and at the sides with stout, black, setiform spines, 

 especially distally ; IV with black sette, those on the under side mostly 

 stout or even spiniform. Metatarsus I with 6-9 spines on each side ; II
