neio South- African Spiders. 323 



Posterior median eyes about a third of a long diameter 

 apart, the clypeus slightly less than a lateral eye's diameter. 



Legs. — Tibia I with 1 outer and 1-2 inner spines below. 



Pedipalps. — Patella very slightly longer than the tibia 

 (exclusive of the process), the two seo:ments together equalling 

 the tarsus in' length ; tibia (PI. XIV. fig. 33 a) oval, cylin- 

 drical, provided at its outer distal margin with a strong 

 spiniform process, which is only slightly shorter than the 

 tibia itself, the apex of the process pointed and minutely 

 incurved but not upcurved ; palpal organ as in PI. XIV. 

 fig. 33, the apex with a short, fine, curved spine, the apex of 

 the l)lack sclerite at the inner basal angle produced upwards 

 into a minute process. 



? $ . — Tibia I scopulate on both sides distally, but espe- 

 cially on the inner side, the under surface with an inner row 

 of 2 spines. 



Vulva (PI. XIV. fig. 34) with a large median groove, con- 

 taining in its anterior part a large tongue-shaped appendage, 

 the convexity on each side of the posterior half of the groove 

 bordered externally by a curved, black, comma-shaped mark 

 and furrow, the anterior part of the groove flanked on each 

 side by a small depression, the apex of the appendage 

 marked with a small brown spot.

Also many other specimens, apparently females of this

This is the commonest and most widely distributed species 

 in Cape Colony. In the ($ ^ the first tibia has 1 outer and 

 usually 2 (rarely 1 or 4) inner spines below, including an 

 apical pair, but in the $ tiiere is no outer apical spine below. 

 The length of the clypeus sometimes equals the length of an 

 anterior lateral eye, and the posterior median eyes are some- 

 times as much as half an eye's diameter apart. The apical
