New South African Spiders. 83 



eyes longitudinally oval, smaller than the posterior medians and 

 distant l-j-2 times their own length from the anterior lateral eyes. 



Pedipalps. Patella sometimes with an internal apical spine ; tibia 

 with a number of spinules in the small apical dorsal patch. 



Legs. Tibia of first leg equal to the metatarsus, its length exceed- 

 ing the width of the ocular area (by about twice the width of 

 a posterior lateral eye), the inner surface with 20-35 spines 

 extending over more than the distal half of the segment ; basal 

 patch of spinules on the metatarsus extending over i J- of the length 

 of the dorsal surface. Third leg with 25-33 spines in the anterior 

 and a similar number in the posterior band on the metatarsus ; 

 patella with a number of setiform or sharply pointed black spines but 

 no short, stout red spinules at apex above. Apical tuft of metatarsus 

 of fourth leg composed of 8-12 spiniform setae, of which only 4-7 of 

 the inner ones are in a close-set transverse row 7 , the rest being 

 irregularly scattered and more separated, as in the previous species. 



Labium with 8 apical teeth. 



Total length (abdomen contracted) 27 mm. ; length of carapace 11 J, 

 width 10 ; length of metatarsus of first leg 3'8 ; width of ocular 

 area 3^. 



Nests. Lids thick, the under surface unevenly convex and 

 strongly rounded at the edges, the peripheral surface not or only 

 in places marked off from the under surface ; ring of pits almost 

 entirely obliterated. Hole as in the other species. 



8. STASIMOPUS KOLBEI n. sp. 



Types. 1 ex. in spirits (No. 5317) and 1 dried specimen (No. 4542),

5 ? . Colour. Yellowish brown, the chelicerae darker; the 2 pos- 

 terior pairs of legs below, the 4 pairs of coxae and the posterior part 

 of the sternum pale yellowish ; abdomen dirty pale yellowish, infus- 

 cated above. 



Carapace equal in length to the patella, tibia, and -J or the whole of 

 the metatarsus of first leg and to the tibia, metatarsus, and ^~ ^ of the 

 tarsus of fourth leg. 



Ocular area relatively longer and narrower than usual, its width 

 only 2^ times its length, being a little less than the length of the 

 metatarsus of first leg and about f of the length of the metatarsus of 

 fourth leg. Anterior row of eyes (viewed from above) with its pos- 

 terior margin almost straight (scarcely procurved), the lateral eyes
