Characters of a ^ specimen from Bergvliet : — 



Closely agreeing with the type of X. caj^ensis, sp. n., and 

 also with similar palpal organ, but differing in having the 

 lateral process of the tibia of the pedipalps distinctly curved 

 just before the apical claw, and with a short but rather deep 

 sinus ou the underside here, as in PI. XIII. fig. 21. 



The posterior median eyes are also a little closer together 

 and the tibia of the first leg has 2-3 inferior spines in the 

 inner row. 



The other males are similar, but in one o£ them the first 

 tibia has an extra spine on the inner surface besides the three 

 in the inferior row.
