The South-east African form of the genus Euprosthenops, 

 which M. Simon regards as distinct from 757. bayonianus, I 

 had identified as that species, having no West-African 

 examples with which to compai-e it. 



Genus Spencerella, nov. 



Allied to Euprosthenops and Tetragonophthalma ; differing 

 from the former in that the anterior lateral eyes are subsessile 

 and close together in the middle line, the distance between 

 them being about equal to the distance between the posterior 

 medians ; in Euprosthenops these eyes are strongly stalked 

 and far apart, the distance between them being equal to the 

 distance between the posterior laterals. In Tetragonoph- 

 thalma the anterior laterals, although sessile, are widely 

 separated and above the edge of the clypeus.
