Order ARANE.E. 



Family Theraphosidse. 



Genus Pterinochilus, Poc. 



Pterinochilus Lugardi, sp. n. 



£ . — Carapace distinctly longer than patella, tibia, and tarsus 

 of palp, shorter than patella and tibia of first leg, subequal to 

 those of fourth and only just exceeding protarsus of fourth. 



Ocular tubercle and clypeus practically as in P. vorax, 

 Poc. 



Front leg with tibia not inflated, the spur projecting in- 

 ternally in such a way that a large space is left between the 

 spur and the base of the protarsus when the latter is flexed 

 on the tibia. 



Palpal organ much like that of P. vorax, but with the 

 base of the spine less stout. 



Protarsus of leg lightly sinuous, not nearly so strongly as 

 in P. vorax. 



Total length 24 millim. ; carapace 12, first leg 41, second 

 37, third 34, fourth 43. 



hoc. Kwebe Hills, near Lake Ngami (Capt.E.J. Lugard, 

 D.S.O.). 



Pterinochilus Schonlandi, sp. n. 



cJ . — Carapace about as long as patella, tibia, and tarsus 

 of palp, shorter than patella and tibia of fourth leg, just 

 equal to those of second, not or scarcely exceeding protarsus 

 of fourth, equal to protarsus and half the tarsus of the third. 



Legs with patella and tibia of fourth scarcely longer than 

 protarsus and tarsus of first ; tibia of first not inflated ; the 

 spur directed forwards in such a way that it is almost in 

 contact with the inner side of the base of the protarsus when 

 the latter is flexed ; protarsus not sinuous. 



Spine of palpal organ stouter than in the preceding species, 

 compressed, distally sinuous, and suddenly narrowed to a 

 point just before apex. 



Total length 18 millim. ; carapace 9, first leg 30, second 

 leg 29, third leg 25, fourth leg 33. 



Loc. Grahamstown (Dr. Schonland). 



Longer in the leg than P.nigrofulvus^ Poc, and with different 

 palpal organ.
