broken, as it sometimes is). Some specimens are larger than stated 

 by Balzan and Tullgren, the length attaining 2'9 to 3 mm. 



The specimens, $ and ? , from Newlands (leg. L. Peringuey, 

 see above) diverge somewhat from typical ones in having the hand 

 somewhat more slender and more narrowing towards both ends, and 

 the sexual region of the male not quite so dark-coloured, though the 

 specimens appear to be adult. 



30. GAEYPINUS CAPENSIS, nov. sp. 



Pour eyes, two on each side, nearly contiguous, the anterior one 

 scarcely 1 diameter from the front margin. 



Colour. Palps reddish brown, the fingers darker ; tergites, stern- 

 ites, and cephalothorax brown, the sternites paler; the brown 

 area of cephalothorax does not quite attain the hind margin, being 

 limited behind by a transverse groove, strongly curved backwards ; 

 the area lying behind this groove is very pale. The other parts of 

 the animal pale greyish brown. 



Cephalothorax considerably longer than wide (about 4 : 3), the 

 slightly convex lateral margins are somewhat convergent up to 

 the eyes, in front of these a little contracted, the front margin 

 slightly convex. Cucullus is very short. A transverse groove, 

 strongly recurved, seems to limit the brown colour of cephalo- 

 thorax. The surface smooth and glossy. The few hairs left are 

 pointed. 



Abdomen very slender, as is the whole body. The tergites and 

 sternites are broadly divided longitudinally, except the last one. 

 The three anterior pairs of sclerites above are very short, and have 

 the longitudinal division broadest. The surface smooth and gloss\ , 

 with moderately long and pointed hairs. 



Palps considerably shorter than the bcdy, with abdomen extended, 

 smooth and glossy, with moderately long hairs which are thin and 

 pointed. Trochanter with a short stalk, pernts formed, a little longer 

 than wide, slightly convex in front, slightly concave behind. Femur 

 with a distinct stalk, slender, three times as long as wide, nearly 

 parallel-sided, slightly convex in front, behind nearly straight, only 

 a little rounded at the base and the tip. Tibia with a distinct stalk, 

 considerably shorter and a little broader than femur, somewhat 

 convex and almost equally so on both sides, rounded at the tip. 

 Hand with a stalk, and with a regularly rounded base, about 

 1-jr times as wide as tibia, equally and slightly convex on both 

 sides, passing gradually into the fingers. Fingers moderately 

 robust, a little curved, and a little shorter than the hand.
