Euprosthenops jmlchelluSy sp. n. 

 (PI. III. figs. 6, 6 a.) 



Colour. — Integument of carapace deep brown, clothed with 

 olive-black hairs, ornamented on each side with a narrow 

 white stripe separated from the margin by a dark band 

 exceeding it in width ; cephalic region with a thin median 

 stripe extending from between the posterior median eyes and 

 a curved white line passing from the tubercles over the 

 anterior median eyes; clypcus yellow, clothed with snow- 

 white 'hairs; mandibles also yellow, naked below, and clothed 

 externally and above with snow-white hairs; palpi and legs 

 yellowish brown, clothed with a mixture of yellowish-brown 

 and whitish hairs ; cox£e yellow, spotted, clothed with white 

 hairs like the sternum, which is black with a large pale median 

 spot ; abdomen blackish above, clothed with dark olive 

 hairs, the dark field relieved by a thin median and a marginal 

 silvery sinuous line ; sides of abdomen blackish and silvery, 

 lower surface pale, silvered, with two indistinct yellow bands. 

 Eyes of ocular quadrangle subequal, the quadrangle very 

 noticeably longer than broad, the posterior eyes more, the 

 anterior less, than a diameter apart, the posterior twice their 

 diameter from the tubercle of the posterior lateral eye ; 

 quadrangle formed by the four posterior eyes not much wider 

 behind than it is long. 



Measurevients in millimetres. — Total length 11; carapace 5; 

 first and second legs 20, third 18, fourth 24. 



Loc. Tea Fountain, near Grahamstown {Miss Leppan^ 

 type) ; Graaf Reinet {Miss Leppan). 



Apart from the difference in colour and the form of the vulva, 

 this species is easily distinguishable from E. australis^ Sim. In 

 the latter the eyes of the ocular quadrangle are very unequal ; 

 the ocular quadrangle is a little longer than wide, nnich nar- 

 rowed in front, its anterior width being about half its posterior 

 width ; the anterior median eyes are much smaller than the 

 posterior medians ; posterior median eyes less than a diameter 

 apart and about the same distance from the base of the tubercle 

 of the posterior lateral eyes ; quadrangle formed by the four 

 posterior eyes about twice as wide as long, &c. Total length 

 of adult female 24 inillim, ; carapace 9; fourth leg 50. 



Family Palpimanidse. 

 Falpimanus Leppance, sp. n. 



? . — At once distinguishable from the rest of the South- 

 African species by the arrangement of the eyes j the posterior
