300 JOHN HEWITT. 



one tooth only in the outer row and four in the inner row ; 

 anterior claw with three small ones in the outer row and four 

 large ones in the inner row. Metatarsus I equal in length to 

 the distance from the centre of the fovea to the anterior 

 margin of the carapace. Patella IV without an apical spine 

 interiorly. The distal group of spines on femur IV, at its 

 upper outer edge, is composed mostly of weak spines ; there 

 are only very few short, fairly stout, spines. 



Abdomen. — With a few, rather strong bristles near the 

 base above. 



Posterior sternal sigilla. — Not very clearly defined, 

 but apparently rather more than a length apart, and about 

 half a length distant from the sternal margin. 



Posterior spinners. — Apical segment a trifle shorter 

 than the penultimate segment. 



Measurements. — Total length 18'5 mm., length of cara- 

 pace 5*5 mm., width of carapace 4*4 mm., length of metatarsus 

 of first leg 3"5 mm. 



A female specimen taken at Bloemfontein by Dr. Dreyer, 

 a few days later, presumably belongs to the same species. 

 The characters are detailed below. 



Ocular area. — More than twice as broad as long, the 

 posterior row distinctly wider ; anterior row with anterior 

 margins moderately procurved, posterior margins in a very 

 lightly procurved line, the medians slightly nearer to the 

 laterals than to each other, their distance apart being 

 distinctly greater than a diameter; posterior row with pro- 

 curved anterior margin and recurved posterior margin, the 

 laterals oblique and elongated, much longer than the medians 

 and as long as the anterior laterals, posterior medians nearer 

 to the posterior laterals than to the anterior medians ; distance 

 between the laterals of each side about one-third the length 

 of the posterior laterals. 



Posterior sternal sigilla. — About half a length apai't 

 and almost a length distant from the sternal margin. 



C h el i cerge . — The inner dental series comprises eight teeth.
