071 new Sulifugce and PeJi'palpi. 229 



In the diaracter of the sculpture of area of metathorax 

 resembles P. melbuurnensis, Ckll., but that is larger, with 

 the upper lateral corners of metathoraeic truncation pro- 

 nunent, the pubescence pale fulvous, &c. In the table of 

 Smith's species it runs to 3, and does not go into any of 

 the divisions. P. tilachus differs from it at once by the 

 coarsely punctured thorax, P. lacthrus by the flagellum 

 fulvo-testaccous beneath, P. taluchis by the strongly 

 yellowish wing;^, P. hlltacus by the clear wings and rufo- 

 testaceous tegulae. 



Parasphecodes specu/iferus, var. a. 

 ? . — Almost 9 mm. long. 

 Tegulse piceous, narrowly whitish in front.

I had at first put this aside as distinct, but it has no 

 satisfactory characters. 



XXIII. — Descriptions of new Arachnids of the Orders 

 Solifugce and Pedipalpi. By S. HiRST. 



(Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) 



In the present note four new species of Solifug£e and a new 

 pedipalp are described ; two other species whicli I described 

 in earlier papers are commented upon also. Two of the new 

 species of Solifngfc seem to me to be of especial interest : 

 one of them belongs to the subgenus Galeodopsis^ Biiula — a 

 subgenus which can be recognized from all other Galeodidse 

 by the presence of two pairs of spines on the second segment 

 of the fourth leg. Hitherto Galeodopsis was only known to 

 occur in South-east Persia. The new species is from Tripoli, 

 North Africa. The other interesting new species belongs to 

 the genus Othoes, which I founded in February 1911 for a 

 very peculiar Galeodid found in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. 

 Unfortunately the locality of this second species of the genus 

 is not known. 



Galeodes (^Galeodopsis) iripolitanus, sp. n. 



Closely allied to Galeodes (Galeodopsis) cyrus, Poc, but 

 differing from that species as follows : — 



Flagellum very different in shape, the blade being much
