Species of Tropical African Solifugae. 207 



S.fusca and hirtuosuy C. Koch {loc. cit. pj). 7G and 78), from 

 the Capo, are two small black-legged species about halt' 

 an inch in length. The former probably will fall under 

 a' and the latter perhaps under b\ 



S. lineata, C, Koch (ibid. p. SO), is perhaps related to 

 sericea; it is a small yellow species, with the mandibles, 

 trunic, and posterior three pairs of legs striped with 

 black, the palpi and first legs being a uniform yellow. — 

 From tiie Cape of Good Hope. 



S. lateralis, Koch (he. cit. p. 82), also from the Cape, will 

 fall under a^, but certainly differs from dentatidens in 

 being only just over half an inch long and in having all 

 the limbs fuscous. 



8. producta, Karsch (Arch. Natnrg. 1880, p. 230) { = vincta, 

 Simon, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 187L>, p. 110, not vincta 

 of Koch), from Lessouto to the north of the Cape, 

 appears to be most nearly related to 6'. hostilis, White, 

 but the flagellum does not reach to the base of the 

 mandible. 



S. merope, Simon (Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1879, p. 112), 

 from Zanzibar, is based upon a female. 



S. niassa, Karsch {loc. cit. p. 237), from N'yassi (?Nyassa), 

 has the flagellum short, as in ferox, but strongly toothed 

 at the base, and there appears to be no supernumerary 

 tooth on the upper fang. 



S. nasuta, Karsch {loc. cit. p. 238), from Zanzibar, has the 

 flagellum of medium length, but not reaching the ocular 

 tubercle ; its tip is both expanded and bifid. 



S. Schioeinfurthi, Karsch {loc. cit. p. 239), from DJur, has 

 the Hagellum of much the same length and shape as in 

 Keyserlingii ; it is not said, however, to be serrate. 



>S'. sco2)ulatay Karsch {loc. cit. p. 239), is based upon a female 

 from Hantara. Differs from all the species known to me 

 in having the front tooth of the lower jaw double. 



Notes on Habits. 



Mr. G. A. K. Marshall, who within the last ^qsv years has 

 discovered in South Africa no fewer than four i\qw species of 

 Solpuga — namely, S. Marshalli from Salisbury, S. Darlingii 

 and sericea from Gadzima, on the Umfuli, and S. caffra from 

 Estcourt, Natal — has from time to time sent to me various
