100 Annah of the Soidli African Museum. 



Spines. Tibia and metatarsus I as in Plate IX, fig. 4 D ; this type of 

 spine arrangement on the tibia appears to be more common and less 

 distinctive amongst the Spiroctenidae. 



A ( specimen (No. B 796) from Mouille Pt., Cape Town, is coloured 

 much the same, save that the abdomen is less green and more ochra- 

 ceous. Palps as in B and o. The colouring of the above specimens 

 has been noted, since the examples had been but a comparatively short 

 time in spirits before being examined, and so have undergone less 

 alteration. 



Amended Description of Female. 



Carapace. Equal in length to tibia, metatarsus and ? f tarsus of 

 1st leg; slightly exceeding patella and tibia, and equal to or slightly 

 exceeding metatarsus and tarsus of 4th leg. Fovea straight. 



Sternum. Posterior sigilla oval and slightly less than their long 

 diameter from the margin. 



Labium. Armed with 2-4 teeth ; coxae of pedipalps with about 

 30 teeth. 



Chelicerae with 9-10 teeth and a double row of 15-16 denticles 

 towards the base. 



Spines. Tarsus of pedipalps with 2 spines on inner side and 2 on 

 outer ; tibia with about 9 fine spines below. Metatarsus 1 with 3 

 spines down outer and 2 down inner side ; tibia I with 2 long, fine 

 spines on outer side. Metatarsus II the same as I, but generally 

 with a line of setae down the centre also; both have only a few 

 scopular hairs distally. Tibia IL with a few fine spines and setae on 

 under surface ; or in some cases with a double row of fine spines down 

 the centre. 



All tarsi scopulated ; posterior ones more coarsely. 



Tibia of 1st leg equal in length to the metatarsus. 



Claws of 1st and 4th legs with 5 teeth on outer basal row, and 5 teeth 

 or more on the distal axial row. 



Seventeen ? ? (No. B 2583) from Sneeuwgat Valley (4000-5000 ft.), 

 Gt. Winterhoek Mountains, Tulbagh (R W. Tucker, 4/16), appear re- 

 ferable to this species also ; unfortunately no $ was obtained, so 

 it cannot be determined whether the differences noted below are 

 sufficient to separate them as a different species. In colour and 

 appearance they coincide with collinus, though perhaps slightly 

 darker ; and in most other characters they are identical. The 

 anterior legs of the Winterhoek specimens, however, are much longer 

 than in the above species, being equal to, or even greater in length 

 than, the 4th legs, the latter coinciding with Pocock's measurements.
