The Pseudoscorpions of SoutJi Africa. Ill 



regularly granulate, nearly glossless. The hairs are broken. Cephalo- 

 thorax is, on the whole, more like that of a Garypinus than of a 

 G-arypus. 



Abdomen. No longitudinal division of the tergites is visible. The 

 surface distinctly granulate and nearly glossless. The sternites are 

 not divided ; they are slightly shagreened and glossy. On one speci- 

 men a couple of tactile hairs are present on the last segment. No 

 other hairs were found (probably broken off). 



Palps about as long as the body with abdomen extended. The 

 surface of all joints (coxa included) nearly glossless, distinctly and 

 regularly granulate all round, except the fingers, which are smooth 

 and glossy. The hairs are nearly all of them broken (or lacking), 

 one or two hairs of one hand are very short and slender. The 

 fingers, on the contrary, have a proportionally dense clothing of long 

 and pointed hairs, among them some long tactile ones. Coxa in 

 front somewhat rounded. Trochanter with a distinct stalk, about as 

 long as wide, very convex in front, behind with two tubercles, an 

 upper one and a lower one, the lower one more central or basal, the 

 upper one more distal, both rounded. Femur with a distinct stalk, 

 nearly four times as long as wide (thus rather slender), a little 

 widened from the stalk behind as well as in front, slightly convex on 

 both sides, only slightly narrowing towards the extremity. Tibia 

 with a distinct stalk, somewhat club-shaped, the outer side slightly 

 convex proximally, distally more strongly so, the inner side regularly 

 convex on the whole length ; tibia is only slightly narrowed at the 

 tip, considerably shorter and a little broader than femur. Hand with 

 a distinct stalk, with the base oblique and only a little rounded, the 

 outer side nearly straight, except at the passage into the fingers (in 

 the younger specimen the outer side of the hand is somewhat 

 convex), the inner side strongly convex ; the hand is about li times 

 as wide as the tibia. Fingers rather slender, slightly curved and a 

 little longer than the hand (5 : 4). 



Mandibles of small size. Galea rather robust, at the tip indistinctly 

 tridendate. 



Legs glossy and slightly granulate or nearly smooth, with simple, 

 pointed hairs. Femur I. and II. have the basal part nearly twice as 

 long as the tibial one, with distinct articulation ; the tarsal joints 

 about of equal length ; the whole tarsus only a little longer than the 

 tibia. Tibia III. and IV. are only a little shorter than the tarsus. 

 Coxa IV. rather short with the hind margin rounded. Arolium dis- 

 tinctly longer than the claws ; these are simple. 



Length of the adult specimen, 3 - 3 mm. ; width of abdomen, 0-86 mm.
