SOLIFUG^. 

 Galeodes arabs, C L. Koch. 



Loc. Wady Haifa {Surg eon- Major Penton and Capt. S. S. 

 Floiocr) ; Oindurman and Kliartoum {Capt. S. S. Floioer). 

 ^Mle Museum possesses also examples from the Nabardi 

 Mines (Sudan), from the Wliite Nile, and from a number of 

 places in Egypt. 



Remarks. — A large male specimen (in spirit) collected by 

 Capt. Flower at Wady Haifa differs from all others of this 

 species, which I have seen, in haviiiCT the spinal armature of 

 the tarsi of both the legs of the third pair | 2 + 2 + 2 | 2 | 

 instead of | 1 + 2 + 2 | 2 | . The armature of the legs of the 

 second pair is, as usual, | l + 2i-2 | 2 | . In all other details 

 both of colour and structure this specimen agrees with some 

 quite typical specimens of G. arahs from the same locality. 

 The young example from Shendy, Sudan, wliich was deter- 

 mined by Dr. TuUgren * as G. araneoides, Pallas, is, perhaps, 

 only an aberration of G. arabs, similar to tliis one from 

 Wady Haifa. 



Othoes, gen. nov. 

 Patella and tibia of maxillipalp (of female) without either 

 spines or bri.-tles. Legs long and slender ; the tarsus of the 

 first leg apparently without claws and furnished at the end 

 with a dense scopula of fine hairs, which are foiked at their 

 extremities. Tarsi of second and third legs with the spinal

armature | 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 | 2(1) | ; as will be seen from this 

 formula, an additional unpaired spine is present on the 

 proximal segment, the spines on the anterior side of this 

 segment being four in number (two of which are unpaired),
