116 Annals of the Soutli African Museum. 



the galea very minute and simple, with no teeth. Tullgren says of 

 the palps, that they are smooth and glossy ; the surface of the palps, 

 indeed, is not granulate, but is somewhat uneven, and in some 

 places irregularities are met with which might be called a kind 

 of granulation. One larval mass contained 12 animals. 



var. GRANULATUS nov. 



In the collection of the South African Museum are some speci- 

 mens, 2 g and 4 $ , with no indication of locality. I identify these 

 with G(ir//2>in/ix obxcnrnx, but as they differ from the typical form 

 in some details, I have regarded them as a variety, distinguishable 

 by the following characters : They are of somewhat larger size and 

 more robustly built, the femur of the palp is a little granulate on the 

 inner and the lower surface (but see my remarks above on the 

 typical form), and the trochanter has the tubercle behind stronger 

 and more pointed. 



I have later received this variety from Mr. John Hewitt, Director 

 of the Albany Museum, Grahamstown, 5 $ , collected at Kimberley 

 (J. H. Power). 



32. OLPIUM ARABICUM E. Simon. 



Transvaal Province. Zoutpansberg Div. : Kleinfontein Farm (E. 

 Godfrey), 1 specimen, on rocky ground. 



The specimen sent to me by the Eev. R. Godfrey from the above 

 locality differs in no essential particulars from the Olpiiim arabicum 

 E. Simon. I have compared it with specimens from the Guinea 

 Coast and from Uganda. 



During the printing I received from Mr. Godfrey another 

 specimen (3 ) of this species from King William's Town Div. : Debe 

 Xek (leg. Miss Fanny Ross). 



33. OLPIUM NITENS Tullgren. 



Cape Province. Bredasdorp Div. : Marcus Bay (H. A t Fry), 1 5 . 

 Cape Div. : Maitland Flats (W. F. Purcell), 1 ? . Cape Peninsula: 

 Cape Flats, at Zeekoe Vlei (W. F. Purcell), 2 ? jun. 



NOTE. -There is great probability of this species being the female 

 of Olpiiim pusillum Ellingsen, founded on a male from Fishhoek, 

 near Simonstown. 



34. OLPIUM SUBGRANDE Tullgren. 



Rhodesia : Baviaan's Kopje, 3 miles East of Umtali (D. L. 

 Patrick), 1 $ .
