The Pseudoscorpions of South Africa. 105 



as present between the two anterior pairs of coxae in the female I 

 cannot detect in the two males I have examined ; perhaps this 

 feature is found only in the females. The projection of the base of 

 the femur of the palps is small, of smaller size than Tullgren seems 

 to indicate, but the protuberance of the trochanter is very large. 

 The colour I should prefer to call hricky as in F. inirabilis. 



25. GAEYPUS CAPEXSIS nov. sp. 



5 . Four large eyes, two on each side, about half a diameter from 

 one another, situated (as usual in Garypiis) on an eminence; the 

 anterior eye looking forward and obliquely upwards, the posterior 

 one showing directly backwards ; the anterior eye about 5 diameters 

 from the front margin of cucullus. 



Colour. Cephalothorax dark chestnut, with a large blackish red, 

 rather glossless central spot near the hind margin. Palps chestnut 

 with the fingers somewhat darker. The tergites spotted ; the ground 

 colour pale greyish brown, each sclerite with one large brown spot 

 laterally and another, somewhat smaller, brown spot at a little 

 distance from the median line ; the anterior two or three tergites 

 have the spots somewhat effaced, their colour being rather brownish 

 on their whole surface. The sternites have their colour distributed 

 in the same manner as the tergites, but less regularly and with the 

 spots of a paler colour. 



Cephalothorax has the hind margin a little longer than the length 

 of Cephalothorax, and is on the whole somewhat triangular, strongly 

 and gradually narrowing forwards from the posterior corner to the 

 contraction which forms the cucullus ; the latter is very long and 

 very sloping (genuine Gari/pus Cephalothorax) ; the front margin 

 with very conspicuous sinuation ; cucullus with deep and conspicuous 

 longitudinal groove from off the eyes, but this groove terminates 

 before reaching the front margin. No transverse groove visible. 

 The surface very glossy (except the dark spot posteriorly, which is 

 somewhat less glossy) and coarsely granulate, laterally most 

 coarsely. The hairs (most of them broken) of Cephalothorax 

 moderately long, robust, broad, somewhat clavate. 



Abdomen. Tergites divided very distinctly by a rather broad 

 longitudinal band, except the first and the last one. The surface 

 rather glossless, coarsely granulate, provided with hairs of the same 

 kind as those of Cephalothorax (mostly broken). The sternites are 

 also divided longitudinally, but less distinctly ; less coarsely 

 granulate, a little glossy ; the hairs like those of the upper side.
