3. HABPACTIRELLA DOMICOLA n. sp. 



Specimens. (a) 1 ? (type; No. 8897) found on Bonnie Vale Farm 

 at Bushmans Drift, on the Breede Eiver, Swellendam Division (near 

 Ashton), by Mr. Charles Groom, in 1901. 



? . Colour of carapace brown, the limbs more yellowish, the hairs 

 on the former mostly black but the longer ones pallid and radiate ; 

 abdomen pale fulvous, with the usual black reticulations and pattern 

 above, the ventral surface with faint median black line and with a 

 black spot on inner side of each posterior lung-book. 



Carapace a little longer than the metatarsus and tarsus of fourth 

 leg, and as long as the tibia, metatarsus, and f of the tarsus of first 

 leg. Ocular tubercle distant at least ^ of its length from the anterior 

 margin ; the posterior median eyes much smaller than the anterior 

 medians or posterior laterals. 



Eastellum feeble, composed of long setae. 



Legs. Tibia of first leg about 24- times as long as high, its length 

 a little exceeding that of the metatarsus and considerably less than 

 the distance from the fovea to the hind margin of the ocular tubercle. 

 First leg much shorter than the fourth (by the length of the fourth 

 tarsus). Scopula of third metatarsus practically entire ; that of 

 fourth tarsus very conspicuously divided (except perhaps quite dis- 

 tally) by a thick band of long black setas. Spines as in treleaveni, 

 except on metatarsus II, which has an inferior apical spine. 



Labium with 12 apical teeth in 2 rows. 



Apical segment of spinners conical, subequal to the penultimate 

 segment in length but slightly shorter than the ocular tubercle. 



Total length 25 mm. ; length of carapace 9, width 6f ; length of 

 first leg 25. 



(b) 1 ? (No. 12393) found in a trap-door nest at Ashton by myself 

 in November, 1902. This specimen has all the metatarsi spined at 

 the apex, but the under surface of the abdomen is without black 

 markings. 



Nest a cylindrical tube, 17-18 cm. (7 inches) deep, widening 

 slightly towards the opening but not funnel-shaped, strongly inclined 

 and descending towards the hinge-side at an angle of nearly 45, 

 much as in Gorgyrclla (Ann. S. A. Mus., v. 3, pi. 1, fig. 3). Lid
