the claws are much more like those of the same sex of vertwnnus, 
but the median vertical claw is not so long. 
Length 19 mm.; width 10 mm. 
Hab. Cape Colony (Cape Town, Stellenbosch). 
SPARRMANNIA PRIESKA, 0. spec., 
Plate XLVI,, fig. 46. 
This species resembles closely S. vertwmnus, and might be easily 
taken for a dwarfed race of the same; the pubescence on the upper 
and under sides is identical, the shape of the clypeus is also nearly 
the same, but it is not quite so deeply cleft in proportion to its size ; 
the outer margin iof the elytra and also the suture are a little 
darker chestnut-brown than the dorsal part, the hind spurs of the 
tibiz are wider in both male and female than in S. vertwnnuws, and 
almost transparent, and the genital armature of the male is altogether 
of a different type from that of S. vertwmnus, and is narrow and 
elongated as in S. capicola, but differently shaped. 
Length 133-15 mm. ; width 7-8 mm. 
Hab, Cape Colony (Hope Town, Prieska). 
SPARRMANNIA NAMAQUA, ND. spec., 
Plate XLVI, fig. 41. 
Shape, size, and vestiture of S. capicola, and, but for the much 
smaller size, also closely resembling S. vertwmmnus ; the colour of the 
elytra is, however, less testaceous, and somewhat light chestnut- 
red, and the clypeus is straight laterally for a short distance, thence 
moderately diagonal, and only slightly emarginate in the centre with 
the angles of the emargination sharp, but not at all dentate; in 
the male the lower tooth of the anterior claws is not quite as 
apical as in S. vertummus, and is shorter, although as much curved 
as the upper, and the third one is slightly more basal; the genital 
armature differs much from that of S. vertwninus. 
Length 17-19 mm ; width 84-10 mm. 
Cape Colony (O’okiep). 
SPARRMANNIA BOSCHIMANA, DN. spec., 
Plate XLVL., fig. 42. 
A very close ally of S. namaqua, and also of S. vertwmnus ; it is 
however, easily differentiated from the latter by the clypeus which 
is entire, not even emarginate in the centre in the male, and only 
very slightly so in the female ; the pubescence is similar to that of
