New Arachnida. 19 



with 5-8 spines on each side ; III and IV with some long distal spines 

 or spiniform setae ; IV also with an infero-posterior apical tuft of 3-4 

 spiniform seise, exactly resembling those of a Stasimopus. Tibia I 

 almost or quite twice as long above as wide, with 5-6 inner and 6-8 

 outer spines; II with 4-6 spines on each edge; III with some curved, 

 apical, setiform spines above ; IV with some long distal spines or 

 spiniform setae below. Patella III with an anterior upper row of 

 shorter, stout, curved (at apex of segment almost setiform) spines, 

 and a posterior upper row of longer, stout, spiniform setae ; IV with a 

 broad, anterior, upper band of shorter setiform spines, and a posterior 

 upper row of longer, stout, spiniform setae. Coxa muticous, with 

 stoutish setas below ; III with a posterior basal group of 9-10 more 

 spiniform setae below. 



Labium with the teeth longish and on the anterior half only. 



Coxes of pedipalps with the basal teeth long, the toothed area in the 

 distal half of the coxa very narrow and composed of only 1-2 rows 

 of teeth. 



Measurements of a ? . Total length 114- mm. ; length of carapace 

 4-1, width 3|. 



The specimens were found under stones. 



FAM. CTENIZID^E. 

 STASIMOPUS SCHKEINERI, n. sp. 



Types. One large ? (36 mm. in length ; November), and 4 smaller 

 $ ? (21-28 mm. in length; Nos. 9513, 9516, 9551, 9558) from 

 Hanover and Poortjesfontein (October, November), and 1 $ (No. 9159) 

 from Hanover (September). $ found under a stone, ? ? in trap- 

 door burrows. Five younger specimens, the smallest measuring 

 9f mm. in length, were also obtained, but are not comprehended in 

 the following description. 



Closely allied to S. leipoldti, Pure. (Trans. S. A. Phil. Soc., v. 11, 

 p. 348). 



? ? . Colour much darker than in leipoldti, the abdomen more or 

 less blackish purple above, especially posteriorly. 



Carapace almost as long as the patella, tibia and metatarsus of 

 first leg, and as the tibia, metatarsus and. tarsus of fourth leg in the 

 large 5 , but shorter in the smaller specimens. Ocular area wide, 

 its width behind equalling the metatarsus together with ^ | of the 

 tarsus of first leg, but slightly less than the fourth metatarsus. Eyes 

 rather far apart, disposed much as in leipoldti ; the anterior laterals 

 large and oval, the posterior medians small, strongly oval, subequal
