6. CHELIFER BAYONI Ellingsen. 



Cape Province. King William's Town Div. : Pirie, 1 5 in the 

 nest of the Fiscal Shrike (Lanius collar is L.) ; Izeli, 2 $ in a stable; 

 Green River, 2 J jun., all collected by Mr. Godfrey ; Blythswood 

 (W. J. A. Moir), 1 3 , 4 ? > 3 jun. (I have also seen a specimen ( $ ) 

 found in Port Elizabeth Museum, forwarded for identification by 

 Mr. Hewitt, Grahamstown Museum.) 



The male in the last lot proves that the species belongs to the 

 */tl>r/(f>er group. 



7. CHELIFER CANCROIDES L. 



Cape Province. Stellenbosch Div. : Faure (W. F. Purcell), 1 3 ; 

 Stellenbosch (L. Peringuey), 1 J ; Malmesbury Div. : Berg River 

 (W. L. Sclater), 1 ? . 



8. CHELIFER EXIGUUS Tullgren. 



Cape Province. Cape Peninsula : Bergvliet, 1 5 , in nest of a bee. 



The specimen agrees in all essentials with the description of this 

 species, with the following exceptions : The colour is, on the whole, 

 reddish-brown, and the cephalothorax is not quite evenly granulate, 

 but has some dispersed bigger tubercles. 



9. CHELIFER FACETUS Tullgren. 



Cape Province. King William's Town Div. : Pirie (R. Godfrey), 

 3 <? , 1 2 jun. 



Tullgren, as will be seen from the Introduction, based this species 

 on specimens ( $ ) from Natal. I have referred the above specimens 

 from Pirie to the same species, as they agree well with Tullgren's 

 description, the fact that my specimens, at least the adult ones, are 

 males, being, of course, taken into consideration ; it is evident from 

 the males that the species belongs to the cancroidcs group, but the 

 tergites are destitute of lateral keels and of posterior spine-like 

 tubercles. The claws have no teeth ; the posterior claw of I. pair of 

 legs is a little abnormal, being somewhat irregular and straightened. 

 The trochantin of the IV. pair of legs is characterised by being per- 

 pendicularly articulated, as stated by Tullgren.

 Purcell), 1 3 .
