Abdomen oval, one third longer than wide. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 12; length of 

 carapace 5, width •I'S ; length of first leg 29, of second 32, 

 of third 21, of fourth 2'4. 



Loc. Durban {H. A. Spencer). A single male example. 



This species may prove to be based upon the male specimen 

 belonging to the same species as the immature female from 

 Natal which M. Simon makes the type of his S. [Vindullus) 

 guttipes (Hist. Nat. Araignees, ii. p. 36, 1897). The coloration 

 of tiie legs and carapace, however, seems to differ in the two. 

 No great reliance must be placed either upon the ocular 

 or other characters of an immature specimen. 



The three species of this genus here recognized may be 

 readily distinguished as follows : — 



a. Eyes of posterior line procurvcd ; carapace slightly- 

 wider than long; ocular quadrangle much wider 

 behind than in front ; second leg exceeding the 

 first by much more than the length of its tarsus . . Marshalli, sp. u. 

 h. Eyes of posterior line straight or very slightly'' re- 

 curved ; carapace not wider than long ; second leg 

 exceeding first by the length of its tarsus. 

 a^. Distance between anteiior median eyes less than 

 that between anterior and lateral ; eyes of ante- 

 rior line subequal ; tibiae with two pairs of short 



spines below Spe7iceri. 



b^. Distance between anterior median eyes greater 

 than between medians and laterals ; anterior 

 medians much larger than anterior laterals ; tibiae 

 with three pairs of spines below stictopiis, sp. n.

Selenops Spoiceri, rocock, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xvii. p. 55, 

 pLviii. fig.8 (1896). 



Loc. Durban {H. A. Spencer) ; Estcourt, 4000 feet 

 {G.A. K. Marshall). 



This species was based upon a female collected by Mr. H. A. 

 Spencer. Mr. Guy Marshall was fortunate enough to procure 

 the male.
