150 Annals of the South African Museum. 



The specimens in the Museum include : 



(a) Types : 8 ad. $ and 6 $ (3 ad.) from the Tulbagh Eoad Railway 

 Station at the foot of the Waterfall Mts., Tulbagh Div. (F. Pnrcell} : 

 No. of pect. teeth in $ 9-10 (rarely 11-12), in $ 11-12 (rarely 9) ; 

 length of carapace in ad. ? ll-12f mm., in ad. $ 9^-10i mm. ; 

 terminal spine of superior caudal crests sometimes enlarged, rarely 

 spiniform. Colour a rich, deep reddish brown (including the outer 

 surface of legs, the cauda, the interocular area and sides of cara- 

 pace, and the palps), the inner basal part of hands above, and 

 sometimes also the interocular area, somewhat yellowish. Spiracles 

 much wider in the middle than at the ends, the posterior edge 

 being much more arched than the anterior edge. Pemiltimate 

 sternal segment quite smooth (rarely with traces of weak granula- 

 tion in the middle) in the 5 , finely granular in the adult $ . 



(/>) 9 ? (4 ad.) and 8 3 (1 ad.) from the Paarl (E. M. Light- 

 foot) : No. of pect. teeth in ? 9-10 (rarely 7 or 8), in $ 10-13 ; 

 length of carapace in ad. $ 10-10f mm., in ad. $ 9f mm. Colora- 

 tion as in the typical fitsciprx, the interocular area and the hands, 

 however, more ochraceous. Spiracles wider in the middle than at 

 the ends, although not so wide as in the specimens from the Water- 

 fall Mts. Terminal tooth of superior caudal crests not at all or 

 scarcely enlarged, not spiniform. Penultimate segment of sterna 

 us in typical fitxcijH-'s in both sexes. 



The posterior surface of the brachium in capcnsis is never coarsely 

 granular along the middle as in Icipoldti and granifrons, but is pro- 

 vided instead with several rows of circular or semicircular ridges, 

 representing the elevated edges of the little depressions in which the 

 hair-pits lie. In var. fnscipca the posterior surface is altogether 

 rougher, the ridges along the middle often fuse to irregular, some- 

 what crenulated crests, between which a granule or two occasion- 

 ally appears. The superior crest of the brachium is usually smooth, 

 or nearly so (crenulated in/.sr//n-.s), but sometimes it is furnished 

 a little proximal to the middle of the segment with a row of gran- 

 ules which, however, are generally situated on the anterior side of 

 the crest, just under its upper edge, causing the latter to still appear 

 nearly smooth when viewed from behind. The superior lobe of the 

 tarsus of fourth leg is never shorter than the lateral lobes. The scape 

 of the pectines is rounded at the base and free of teeth for about ? of 

 its length in the $ ; in the 3 the scape is straight at the base, 

 though not quite rectangular to its axis, being free of teeth for 

 about I- to | of its length.
