considerably stronger, divided in the extremity to form some 

 fine teeth. 



Legs uniformly granulated, even the coxae ; the outer side of 

 the legs with short, clavate hairs, the inner side with obtuse 

 hairs ; no " tactile hairs." The coxae of the fourth pair in $ very 

 narrow and curved. 



Coxal sac present. The tibia of the first pair in $ has the 

 inner side widened and in the same sex the outer claw of the 

 first pair is angularly curved instead of being curved in the usual 

 manner. The claws have no inner teeth ; they seem to be of 

 larger size compared with those of the $ . The coxae of the 

 fourth pair in $ are very broad, somewhat projecting behind the 

 trochanter, where the coxa forms a produced right angle. 



As to the shape of the first pair of legs in cf, this species 

 resembles C. disjunct us, L. Koch, and Ch. peculiar is, L. Koch, 

 as well as C. Latreillii, Leach, but it differs from these species 

 by the clavate hairs on the lower side of abdomen. 



Sexual area in S is of C. cancroides type, but differs somewhat, 

 however, from that species; the sexual opening lies very near 

 the posterior coxae. The two sternites behind the posterior 

 sexual plate have a narrow, transverse, dark stripe on each 

 sclerite. 



Length. <$ 2*15 mm., with contracted abdomen. 



Measurements. J, Cephalothorax : long. 0*72 ; lat. behind, 0*79. 

 Femur : long. 0-72 ; lat. 0'24. Tibia : long. 0*61 ; lat. 29. Hand : 

 long. 0*64; lat. 0'40. Fingers: long. 064 mm. 



Llabitat. Africa, Cape Colony : Witte Hardt, Nieuwveldt, ahout 

 5,000 ft. above the sea, collected by the late Mr. T. M. Kew, in 

 March, 1905, under pieces of stone on sandy ground. 



Note. I have seen two males and two females. The species 

 has some affinity with C. Sauteri, Ell., from Japan, but is larger, 

 and has the coxae of the fourth pair of legs in S still more 

 slender.
