New and Little Known South African Solifugce. 423 



large tooth in upper jaw, and between the two large teeth in lower 

 jaw. 



Colour. -- $ brownish yellow to yellowish or orange-brown. 

 Malleoli not black-edged. Bristles on the head-plate and mandibles 

 dark brown, the dense short hairs on these parts and on the legs 

 pale yellowish ; the long hairs on the hind legs yellowish white or 

 almost white, yellowish at the base, those on the under side of this 

 leg, excepting on the tarsus, very numerous, forming a long, well- 

 developed mane, the single hairs of which equal half the metatarsus 

 in length ; those on the upper side of the hind leg rubbed off in the 

 type. Abdomen with the sides of the anterior and the whole 

 surface of the posterior tergal plates thickly covered with intensely 

 black hairs, the anterior plates with short yellowish hairs in the 

 middle. Sides of the abdomen thickly clothed with longer, very 

 pale, whitish-yellow hairs. 



2 . The short pubescence, especially that on the legs, very dense 

 and soft and of a bright yellow colour, that along the upper and 

 under sides of the last pair of legs longer, forming a very dense, 

 short, bright yellow mane, extending along almost the whole length 

 of the leg. The length of the single hairs of this mane is much 

 less than in the case of the $ , being only one-third of the length 

 of the metatarsus. Sides of the abdomen densely covered with 

 very gaudy yellow or partly orange-coloured hairs. 



First segment of the abdominal sterna with the posterior median 

 angles produced in the ad. 2 .

Localities. (a] Types: An ad. $ and 2 , dried (No. 1048), labelled 

 " S. Africa, 1875 " (E. Hughes). 



(b) One dry specimen, apparently nearly mature, from Concordia, 

 Namaqualand Div., 1893. 



(c) One dry specimen, similar to the last, from Fraserberg (H. 

 Findlay, 1888). All these specimens appear to belong to one 

 species, which is remarkable for the denseness of the short yellow 

 pubescence on the palps.
