The tibia of the palp seems short and comparatively stont^ 

 being swollen towards the base, and not quite twice as long" 

 as the patella. The spine of the palpal organ is elongated, 

 so much so that if it were straightened out in a line with the 

 axis of the bulb the whole organ would be quite as long- 

 as the tibia of the palp. 



Total length 10 mm., length of tibia of palp 2*35 mm., of 

 first leg 15'3 mm., of fourth leg 16'8 mm. 



The female of this form closely resembles that of S. 

 insculptus Poc, and was referred to in my key ('Albany 

 Museum Records,' iii, p. 84) as connecting together artif ex 

 and insculptus. It has neither spines nor spiniform setae 

 at the apex of metatarsus III inferiorly, though stiffisli setaB 

 may be present.

The types of this species are two adult males collected at 

 East Loudon during the eaidier part of June, 1916, by Dr. 

 Geo. Rattray, who presented them along with numerous 

 female examples to the x4_lban3^ Museum. 



Colour. — Black throughout, except the two distal segments 

 of each leg which are red, the tibia, tarsus, and bulb of the 

 palp which are brown, the sternum and ventral surfaces of 

 coxa? Ill and IV which are castaneous, the lung-opercula 

 and genital sternite which are yellow, and the spinners which 

 are pale. 



Carapace. — Without hairs on the head region, except 

 several in front of the antero-median eyes. The usual three 

 keels are present, the mesial one being continued backwards 

 to the fovea. The surface is roughened throughout, except in 

 the head-groove laterally and between the three keels dorsally. 

 The eyes of the anterior row are comparatively large and 

 close together, much more so than in schonlandi: the 

 distance between an antero-lateral and antero-median is con- 

 siderably less than the long diameter of the former, and 

 distinctly less than the diameter of the latter. The carapace
