Contributions to the South African Arachnid Fauna. 479 



were taken with other normal ones, and the variations seem due to 

 the internal arrangement of the vesicula seminalis showing through 

 the vulval plates in a slightly different fashion.

UROCTEA QUINQUENOTATA, Sim. (Plate XXIX, fig. 12 B). 



1910. JJ. quinquenotata, Simon, in Schultzes Forsch-reise Zool. Jena, 

 vol. 16, p. 189. ? . 



Specimens. 2 ? ? and 1 ? juv. (No. 3865) ; locality not stated, 

 but probably Bushmanland. 



These specimens agree in markings of abdomen, etc., with descrip- 

 tion of U. quinquenotata. The sternum is slightly dark edged, and is 

 unicolorous with the coxae and femora, the latter being light brown 

 below. 



The vulva is distinct, as in fig. 12 B. Simon gives no figures 

 of the vulva of quinquenotata, and although the above specimens are 

 considered to agree with Simon's description, they may prove to be a 

 distinct species.

Spd'iiHt'ii*. 4 ? ? , 1 juv. <$ and 1 juv. ? (No. 3717) from Namies 

 (Kenhardt Div.), Bushmanland (M. Srhlechter, 3/1898). 



Compared with U. septemnotata the 9 9 have the vulval cleft 

 narrower and the entire genital surface more wrinkled and lacking in 

 the lateral brown markings ; the juvenile specimens have black abdo- 

 mens with 5 light conspicuous spots ; terminal one angular, and with 

 2 spots anteriorly and 1 posteriorly to the latter ; carapace, legs and 

 sternum light yellow. They may possibly be the juveniles of a different 

 species although they occur with the above, since the abdominal 

 markings are very distinct. 



1 2 (B 711, K. M. Lightfoot, 10/1911) from Jackals' Water, Little 

 Namaqualand, shows traces of 7 spots on a cinereous abdomen but
