Nieuwveldt, about 5,000 feet above the sea (Ellingsen, 7. p. 164), 

 3 and 2 . A form of this species, var. Fiilleborni Ellingsen, is 

 recorded from East Africa : Langenburg, and British East Africa : 

 Takanuga (Ellingsen, 9. p. 385). Several new localities, with a 

 number of specimens, together with some interesting notes on the 

 manner of life of this species, will be given in the special part. 



CHELIFER MUCRONATUS Tullgren. 



A very beautiful species. The type specimens, $ and 2 , were 

 taken in the Orange Free State : Bothaville, and Cape Colony : Port 

 Elizabeth (Tullgren, 22. p. 32), and the species has since been 

 recorded from Zululand : Dukudu (Tullgren, 21. p. 220). More 

 information on this species will be given in the special part. 



CHELIFER SCULPTURATUS Lewis. 



One of the most remarkable and curious species, if not the most 

 curious one, among the Chelifers. The species was founded by 

 Lewis in 1903 (Lewis, 12. p. 497) on specimens, $ and 2 , from 

 Natal (taken in beehives), and redescribed (from the same speci- 

 mens) by C. J. With (26. p. 122). In the collections of the South 

 African Museum there are some specimens from Natal and Trans- 

 vaal (see the special part). 



CHELIFER SEGREGATUS Tullgren. 



A single specimen, 2 , from South Africa, Hereroland : Eooibank 

 (Tullgren, 24. p. 285). A new locality in the special part. 



CHELIFER SIMONI Balzan. 



Syn. : Chclifer madagascarensis Ellingsen. 



One of the most widely distributed species in the tropical parts 

 of the world, especially in Africa, but it is also recorded from some 

 localities out of this continent, perhaps imported. In Africa this 

 species has a wide distribution ; in West Africa, especially, many 

 localities are known. Originally described from Sierra Leone 

 (Balzan, 1. p. 531), and redescribed as Ch. madagascarensis 

 (Ellingsen, 2. p. 137) from Madagascar, it has been afterwards 

 reported from Cameruii by Tullgren (18. p. 100), and from Carnerun : 

 Jaunde and Jos. Albrechtshohe (Ellingsen, 9. p. 387) ; from Camerun : 

 Bibundi (Ellingsen, 11. p. 63) ; Islands of Cabo Verde : Brava ; 

 S. Thiago : Orgaos Grandes ; S. Nicolao ; Portuguese Guinea : 

 Bissau, Rio Cassine, and Bolama ; San Thome : Eibeira Palma ; 

 Fernando Po : Punta Frailes (Ellingsen, $. p. 255) ; Benguela : Huse
