Specimens. ? (No. 4242) from Pt. Elizabeth ( J. J. Drt-ge, 1898). 



As there is no corresponding ^ the identification .may be doubtful, 

 so the following description is provisional. 



Carapace. Light ochraceous bi-own ; darker at sides of cephalic 

 portion ; latter not so raised as in A. pusilla ; otherwise the same as 

 in the latter. In length subequal to tibia and metatarsus of 4th leg, 

 and probably equal to tibia and metatarsus of 1st leg ; (anterior legs 

 damaged). 



Eyes. Hind margins of anterior row in a straight to slightly 

 procurved line. Anterior medians closer together than in A. pusilla, 

 and equidistant from laterals. Posterior row recurved ; laterals larger 

 than medians. Breadth of ocular area only slightly over twice its 

 length. 



Abdomen. Dull testaceous below and with uniform infuscation 

 above. 



Sternum and coxae of legs light brown in colour; sigilla as in 

 pusilla. 



Labium and coxae of pedipalps muticous. 



Cliclicerae. Much as in pusilla; hairs around mouth parts reddish 

 in colour. 



Legs. Tarsi I and II very slightly scopulated at sides, and spine- 

 less. Tarsus III with 3 sinsill spines on posterior border of upper 

 surface, and 4-5 dis tally on under surface ; rest of surface clothed 

 with long hairs. Tarsus IV with long setose hairs and 7-8 small 

 spines on under surface distally. Metatarsus I with 3 apical, 1 mesial, 

 and 1 basal spines on under surface ; fairly densely clothed and with a 

 few scopular hairs distally. Metatarsus II similar but with longer 

 spines. Metatarsus III with 8 small spines on posterior side and 5-6 

 on anterior side of upper surface, the apical spines being longer and 

 curved; also 2 slender apical, and 1 or 2 other spines on under surface,
