b. Carapace almost as wide as long ; distance between 

 eyes of anterior line subequal, that between the 

 medians only a little less than that between the 

 median and lateral on each side ; anterior legs 

 not scopulate, tibite and pro tarsi of first spined 

 below : adult 7 mm. long pusillus, sp. n. 



Family Clubionidse.

Loc. Durban (77. A. Spencer). 



Three examples (two females, one male) are doubtfully- 

 referred to this species, recorded from Natal, but insufficiently 

 diagnosed. The two females present a small difference in the 

 form of the vulva, and are, perhaps, not cospecific. The 

 description of the vulva of valens applies to both examples.

 protarsus and one third of the tarsus of the second leg, and 

 just about equal to protarsus of third. Eyes of posterior line 

 very slightly procurved, subequal and subequally spaced, 

 posterior medians rather more than a diameter apart ; quad- 

 rangle a little wider in front; anterior medians larger than 

 posterior medians and about half a diameter apart ; anterior 

 medians considerably larger than anterior laterals and a little
