Localities. (a) One $ (type, No. 2845) from the village of 

 Clanwilliam (G. L. Leipoldt, Nov., 1897), and 1 $ from the same 

 locality (E. M. Lightfoot). 



(b) One $ (dry) without a history. 



(c) One ? from Van Wyks Vlei, Carnarvon Div. (E. G. and 

 D. C. Alston], almost exactly resembling the ? from Clanwilliam ; 

 in one of the upper jaws the anterior of the two small teeth has all 

 but vanished. 



(cl) One 5 from Steinkopf, Namaqualand, and one from Namies, 

 Bushmanland (If. Schlechter), both differing from the typical ? in 

 having only one small tooth between the second and third large 

 tooth of the upper jaw. As the anterior of these small teeth is very 

 minute in the typical $ , I do not consider its absence of specific 

 value, although of course the male must be found in these localities 

 too before the specific identity of these three specimens can be 

 considered certain. 



Measurements of typical $ and ? . Total length 3 224-, ? 30 ; 

 length of head-plate $ 4, 5 3^, width $ 4f, $ 4^ ; length of 

 mandibles $ 6^, ? 8, width $ 2^, ? 2i ; length of palps $ 26, 



? 23i, tibia $ 8, ? 1\, metatarsus + tarsus ^ 8^, ? 7f ; length 

 of III. leg $ 25, ? 21i; length of IV. leg $ 36i, ? 31, tibia 



$ 7f, ? 6*, metatarsus $ 7, ? 6.

Flagellum. Basal enlargement high, rotundate in outline. Anterior 

 bend of flagellum situated behind the level of the first tooth of the 

 jaw and nearly over the second tooth. Eecurrent portion rod-like 

 and comparatively thick, being as thick as or thicker than the termi- 

 nal fang of jaw and extending back some distance behind the middle 

 of the mandible, but not reaching the head-plate. In one specimen 

 the shaft is distinctly compressed, the flattened side being turned 

 upwards and outwards, so that the inner edge lies higher than the 

 outer ; in the other specimen the flagellum is scarcely compressed 

 and almost cylindrical. The sides of the shaft are parallel, but at 



* These specimens, which I had described as new, were kindly identified from 

 Koch's type by Professor K. Kraepelin.
