Species of African Solifuga; and Araiieje. 9 



ResemblinLT C. ScJateri, Pure, in colour, spine-armature 

 of second and third legs, deeply divided pulvillus, &c., but 

 differing entirely in the weak dentition of the mandibles. 



Order AEANEiE. 



Family Ctenizidae. 



Genus Acanthodon, Guer. 



Acanthodon ochreolum^ sp. n. (PL II. figs. 5, 5 a.) 



^ . — Of about the size, colour, and general appearance o£ 

 A. Thorellii, Cambr. (P. Z. S. 1870, p. 156, pi. viii. fig. 6; 

 also Pocock, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) i. p. 320, 1898), but 

 with the protarsus of the first leg arcuate in its basal half, with 

 concavity looking inwards, geniculate just past the middle, the 

 remainder of the segment running straight forwards ; the tibial 

 spurs, too, are very unequal, the distal being long, twice 

 as long as the proximal, which is short and conical; the 

 tibia is armed beneath with four spines, the protarsus with 

 two. Except that the patella and tibia are more inflated, 

 the palpus has much the same form in the two species. 

 Anterior median eyes much larger than in A. ThoreUii^ hardly 

 more than half a diameter apart, less than a diameter from 

 the posterior laterals, which are barely half their area. 



Total length 9 raillim. ; carapace 3*5; first leg 13, 

 fourth 13"5. 



Loc. Jansenville [Miss Leppan). 



Genus Stasimopus^ Simon. 



Stasim opus iml pig er^ sp. n. (PI. II. figs, 4, 4 «.) 



^ . — Colour. Blackish above, the extremities of the palpi 

 and anterior two pairs of legs distally pale; third and fourth 

 legs yellowish brown, the basal half of each segment darker 

 than the proximal ; lower surface pale. 



Carapace granular, a little longer than tibia of first leg, 

 equal to protarsus of fourth, shorter than patella and tibia of 

 fourth. Eyes of anterior line a little procurved, subequal in 

 size and subequally spaced; eyes of posterior line slightly 

 recurved, small, subequal, the posterior lateral much smaller 

 than anterior lateral and widely separated from it. 



Labium and maxilke unarmed. 



Palpi unarmed, exceedingly long and slender, about three 

 and a half times as long as carapace, and extending as far as 

 the tip of the first pair of legs ; the trochanter cylindrical,
