 Unterschiede der drei Arten: 

 1 (2) a. Sternum broader in front, its vpidth betw. the 1 st legs equal to about 

 half its length ; Cluster of spinules on base of 3 rd coxa larg. than 

 that on the 1 st; eyes of ant. line nearly straight, the laterals separated 

 from the edge of the clypeus by a space vv^hich is about equal to three 

 diameters; post. median eye larger than the post. lateral, whytei sp. n. 



(2) 1 b. Stern, narrorer in front, its width betw. the 1 st legs less than half 



its length ; clust. of spiu. on base of 3 rd coxa larg. than that on the 

 4 th ; dist. betw. ant. lat. eye and edge of clypeus less than three 

 times a diam., the ant. row of eyes being more strongly procurved; 

 post. lat. eye larg. than post. med. 



(3) 4 Eyes smaller and more scattered, the ant. lat. twice their diam. from 



the edge of the clypeus and three times their diam. from the medians, 

 which are separated by a space equalling twice their own diameter; 

 six spines on the outer side of the tibia and protarsus of 2nd leg; 

 legs more or less parti-coloured abrahami Cambr. 



4 (3) Eyes larger; ant. lat. aboiit once their diam. from the edge of the 

 clyp. and twice their diam. from the med., which are separ. by a 

 space equalling their diam., 4 spines on outer surface of tibia and pro- 

 tarsus of 2 nd leg, legs uniform in colouring. dyeri Cambr.

 Stasimopus wird von Simon zu den Actinopodinae mit Actinopus (Neotrop.) und 

 Eriodon (austral.). Nach Pocock's Ansicht ist die Verwandtschaft eine sehr 

 geringe. Er zieht die Gattung zu den Ctenizidae. Pocock, Proc. Zool.

 Art und rufidens Auss (von Natal): 



a. "Width of the ocular area (posterior line of eyes) almost equal to the 

 protarsus of 1 st leg, and about three quarters the length of the 4 th 

 protarsus ; length of carapace almost equal to length of patella, tibia, and 

 pi'otarsus of 1 st leg, greater than the same segments of the second; 

 protarsi of 3 rd and 4 th legs with apical tufts of spinules beneath.

b. Width of ocular area equal to only about two-thirds of the protarsus or 

 tibia of the first leg, and less than half the 4th protarsus; length of
