76 Annals of the South African Museum. 



Carapace as in the foregoing ; its length sometimes equalling the 

 tibia, metatarsus, and tarsus of fourth leg. 



Ocular area. Width behind exceeding the length of the tibia and 

 shorter than or even very slightly exceeding the length of the meta- 

 tarsus of first leg and about f i of the length of the fourth metatar- 

 sus ; anterior row of eyes (seen from above) lightly procurved or with 

 the hind margins in a straight line, the lateral eyes large, broadly 

 oval, transverse ; the posterior row very distinctly recurved, the 

 median eyes small, rotund, slightly further apart than the anterior 

 lateral eyes and distant about their own diameter or slightly more 

 from the posterior lateral eyes ; the latter subrotund or slightly oval, 

 small, subequal to or only slightly larger than the posterior medians, 

 their distance apart very distinctly exceeding the width of the anterior 

 row ; distance between the posterior and anterior lateral eyes slightly 

 or considerably exceeding the long diameter of the latter. 



Pcdipalps spined much as in the foregoing species, but the basal 

 patch on the tarsus smaller, composed of only 9-20 spinules, and 

 the distal patch on the tibia absent or composed of 1-4 spinules. 



Legs. Length of tibia of first leg decidedly less than that of the 

 metatarsus and exceeding the width of the anterior row of eyes, but 

 less than the width of the posterior row (often by more than the 

 width of a lateral eye) ; tibia with a band of 5-10 spines occupying 

 from -^ to the whole of the length of the inner surface, the upper side 

 with a small distal patch of spinules occupying at most \ of the 

 dorsal length, the basal patch on the metatarsus long, almost equal- 

 ling but not exceeding half the length of the dorsal surface. Third 

 leg with 14-21 spines in the anterior and 18-23 in the posterior band 

 on the metatarsus ; patella with some short stout spines along 

 anterior surface and a few (not more than a dozen) or no slenderer 

 spinules in distal part of upper surface ; patch of red spinules on 

 tibia occupying only about f of the dorsal length ; metatarsus with- 

 out apical tuft of setae below. Fourth leg with the patch of red 

 spinules on the patella large, occupying from ^--f of the length of 

 the anterior surface ; the infero-posterior apical tuft on the metatar- 

 sus composed of 6-8 subequal spiniform setae regularly arranged in 

 a transverse row. 



Labium with 4-8 apical teeth. 



Total length 30 mm. ; length of carapace 10, width 8f ; length of 

 metatarsus of first leg 3t; width of ocular area 3. 



$ . Colour. Carapace and chelicerae reddish black, the latter with 

 dark reddish bands above ; abdomen fuscous-yellow above, paler 

 below ; pedipalps and 2 anterior pairs of legs blackened proxirnally
