IV. 1. Patella of palp slightly longer than patella I, 

 appreciably shorter than tibia I, the tibia and 

 tarsus together considerably shorter than the cara- 

 pace : tarsus IV with numerous spines on both sides 

 and III also with numerous spines in a continuous 

 band on both sides : metatarsus I not scopulate, 

 inferiorly with strong spines both over the median 

 area and at the sides : the 3 keels of the carapace 

 prominent throughout and reaching Imck almost as 

 far as the fovea. (Yredefort Rd. ?) Q. gigas Hewitt 



2. Pressed forwards the palp reaches a point | of the 

 distance along metatarsus I, patella longer than 

 patella I but much shorter than tibia I, the tibia 

 and tarsus together slightly shorter than the cara- 

 pace : metatarsus I not scopulate, inferiorly without 

 spines along the median area : tarsus III with about 

 14 spines on each side. IV numeroiisly spined on 

 both sides : the 3 keels of the carapace well developed 

 anteriorly but absent posteriorly, none of them 

 approaching the fovea. (Steynsburg.)

 than tibia I : tarsus I with 4-5 spines anteriorly 

 and 6-7 posteriorly : metatarsus I not scopulate and 

 without spines along the median line inferiorly or 

 only an odd one proximally. (Pretoria.)

 2. Pressed forwards the palp reaches to the end of 

 metatarsus I or slightly beyond, the patella being 

 a little longer than tibia I and 1^ times as long as 

 patella I : tarsus I with 0-2 spines anteriorly and 

 0-1 spine posteriorly : metatarsus I not scopulate 

 and without spines along the median area inferiorly 

 or with only one. (Kimberley. ) S. longi palpi s ife^y^Y^.

 being distinctly longer than tibia I, the tibia being 

 longer than metatarsus IV, which again is subequal 

 to the carapace in length. (Graaff Reinet.)
