The following paper is based upon a few specimens of Solifugae 

 collected by Mr. S. N. von Wick during his expedition to the 

 Egyptian Soudan. Mr. von Wick brought home a valuable series 

 of zoological specimens and generously presented them to the Zoolo- 

 gical Museum of the Academy of Sciences of Petrograd. The Scorpions 

 and Solifugae, which came into my hands for determination, proved 

 upon examination to be of a very considerable interest. Of Scorpions 

 none were new to science, but two specimens of Biithus {Hottentotta) 

 minax (L. Koch) from Beda (d" ad., captured 5. V. 1913) and Mu- 

 stafa (c? juv., captured 30. IV. 1913) form a valuable addition to our 

 series of this species. As far as the Solifugae are concerned, the col- 

 lection contained two probably new species, which form the subject- 

 matter of the present communication.
