FSYCHE. 



[April, 1902 



species there is a constriction in the 

 middle of the abdomen. 



This genus is distinguished from Que- 

 kettia by its more ant-like shape and by 

 the abdominal constriction, as well as by 

 the difference in the spines. Kima and 

 Quckettia differ from Araegeus E. S. 

 which also has no tooth on the inferior 

 margin of the falx, by the shape of the 

 sternum, which in Araegeus has a long 

 point in front. 



Kima africana, sp. nov. 



A large, ant-like species, with long slender 

 legs and a long pedicle. 



$. Length S mm. Legs 4132, tourlh 

 much the longest. 



We have but one specimen. The cephalo- 

 thorax is without hairs, the color being dark 

 reddish brown, deepening to black on the 

 cephalic plate. The fourth legs are. black 

 throughout their length, but the others, 

 although black near the body, shade to brown 

 at the extremities. They are equal in thick- 

 ness and are but scantily haired. The first 

 leg has three pairs of spines under the tibia, 

 and two pairs under the metatarsus. The 

 palpi are black. The rather high black 

 cljpeus has a few short white hairs. The 

 abdomen, which has a construction in the 

 middle, is covered with rich golden jellow 

 hairs, which shade to white on the venter. 

 The falces are reddish brown, and are flat- 

 tened, with two teeth on the superior margin, 

 at the distal end. 



We have one male from Cape Colony, 

 sent to us by Dr. Braun. 



Hyllus treleavenii sp. nov. 



?. Length 13 mm. Legs 3412. 

 In our specimen the cephalothorax is 

 rubbed almost bare, showing the integument 



to be dark red on the sides and lighter above. 

 There seem to have been many light yellow 

 and reddish hairs on the sides and over the 

 back. Around the eyes of the first row and 

 on the clypeus are long reddish hairs, and 

 white hairs with a yellow tinge cover the 

 front faces of the falces. The abdomen has 

 a covering of short reddish-gray hairs with 

 long while hairs scattered over it. Down 

 tlie middle is a herringbone stripe of white, 

 and a white band around the base is continued 

 on the sides to the middle point, where it 

 ends in a conspicuous somewhat triangular 

 white spot. Further back, on each side, is a 

 crescent-shaped white spot. The legs are all 

 hairy, especially the first pair, which has long 

 black and white hairs below. Their general 

 color is dark, but the metatarsi and tarsi of 

 the first legs, as well as the distal ends of the 

 metatarsi and the whole of the tarsi of the 

 third and fourth, are lighter colored. 



We have a single female from Masho- 

 naland sent by Mr. Guy A. K. Marshall. 

 We have named the species for Mr. F. 

 Treleaven of Cape Town. 



Cyllobelus australis, sp. nov. 



Near CvUohelus chlonogasicr E. S. but 

 smaller, and lacking the red hairs around the 

 eyes, and red marks on the cephalothorax and 

 abdomen. 



?. Length 5 mm. Legs 4132, fourth 

 much the longest. 



The cephalothorax is bronze-brown with a 

 narrow white line running across the clypeus 

 and entirely around the lower margin. The 

 abdomen is bronze-brown with a large num- 

 ber of symmetrically disposed snow white 

 spots. The two largest are somewhat tri- 

 angular in shape and are placed on each side 

 of the middle of the dorsum. There are 

 smaller ones lower down on the sides, both 

 before and behind these, and a single one 

 just in front of the spinnerets. Six pairs of 

 small white spots or lines extend from the
