One specimen of this species is in Mr. Gooch's 

 collection. The palpi are very peculiar, somewhat 

 diverging, clothed beneath with a fringe of elongate 

 scales, which, turning slightly inwards, give them a 

 pectinated or feathered appearance. The hind tibiae 

 have the first pair of spurs very long, and about equal 

 to each other. 



Mr. Gooch writes of this species, "D'Urban, bush on 

 Berea, August."
