NOTE 1. The first specimen is adult and well-coloured, and is the 

 type, but there is no doubt that the other specimen also belongs to 

 the same species, although it is of paler colour, less developed and of 

 smaller size. 



NOTE 2. I have been in great doubt as to the genus to which this 

 species ought to be referred. The anterior part of cephalothorax, 

 which is rounded, with no or, at least, little pronounced cucullus, 

 making cephalothorax not much Gary pus-like, seems to exclude it 

 from the genus Garypus. But other characters for instance, the 

 strong granulation and the construction of the two anterior pairs of 

 legs (which is quite Garypus-Yike) indicate it to be excluded from 

 the two other possible genera, Garypinus and Olpiitm, at least as 

 these are established at present. For further remarks on this subject, 

 see Note to Garypus capensis, above ; but it may be said that the 

 more species that are described of the family Garypidcs, the more 

 difficult becomes the arrangement of the genera, so that the safe 

 establishment of these certainly cannot yet be undertaken. I have, 

 however, at least provisorily, referred the new species to Garypus, in 

 spite of the construction of the cephalothorax.
