new African Arachnida. 285 
ten teeth along the external series (not including the apical) ; 
movable finger lightly curved throughout its length, im- 
movable straight. 
Measurements in millimetres.—'Votal length 62; carapace 
6°5; width of first caudal segment 4°7, of fourth 4°3 ; length 
of fourth 6°38; width of hand 2°5, of brachium (not including 
spike) 23; length of hand-back 3:6, of movable finger 5. 
Loc. Congo. 
Neither Thorell nor Kraepelin, in their description of 
P. brevimanus, mentions the existence of the crests on the 
fourth and third caudal segments, such as I have described 
above in P. cristatus, and which are, I believe, unique in the 
genus. 
Parabuthus granulatus (H. & Ehrb.). 
Subsp. fuscus, nov. 
Differs from the principal form in having the upperside of 
the trunk and chele, the tail above and below, and the femora 
and patella of the legs distinctly and uniformly infuscate ; 
the ventral surface of the trunk, the fingers, extremities of 
legs, vesicle of tail, and mandibles clearer yellow. 
Loc. Kalahari Desert (2. J. Cunningham).

of protarsus and tarsus of first leg, and than patella, tibia, and 
tarsus of palp and than patella and tibia of fourth leg, and 
a little longer than protarsus of latter. 
Eyes of anterior line subequally spaced, the medians abont 
a diameter apart, smaller in area than the laterals, the four 
slightly procurved; anterior medians about their own diameter 
from the posterior medians; distance between the two laterals 
on each side about equal to the long diameter of the anterior 
lateral. 
Labium and maxille wnarmed. 
Palpi not spined, nearly twice as long as the carapace ; 
tibia fusiform, about twice as long as the patella; tarsus 
short, truncate; bulb of organ oval, spine long, straightish,
