Measurements in mm. Length of cephalothorax 13*o, of

 Hinde at Fort Hall (4400 feet), British East Africa. 



Remarks. The male of P. Hindei differs from that of 

 P. murinus, to which it is closely allied, in the much smaller 

 size and in that the cephalothorax equals the patella, tibia, 

 and tarsus of the maxillipalp, whilst in murinus the cephalo- 

 thorax considerably exceeds the patella, tibia, and tarsus of 

 the palp in length.
