252 Mr. R. J. Pocock on the Genera and 
Family Solpugide. 
Subfamily Raacoprva, nov. 
This group is established for the reception of the single 
genus hitherto known as Rha, for which I propose the new 
name Rhagodes, the term Rhax having been up till now used 
by myself and others in a sense inadmissible according to the 
rules of nomenclature I adopt (vide supra under Graleodes). 
Like Biton and Glaleodes, Rhagodes is also an alien from 
the Palearctic Region, being found in abundance all over 
Persia, Afghanistan, parts of India, and Africa north of the 
Sahara. On the west of Africa it extends as far south as 
Gambia and on the east as far as Somaliland, Mombasa, and 
Masailand. 
Subfamily Sozevervs, nov. 
The Ethiopian genera may be recognized by the following

ments, of fourth of seven segments,

Genus PARACLEOBIS, Poc. 
Ann, & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xvi. p. 95 (1895). 
Type P. dorsalis, Latreille. 
‘This genus is equivalent to Gluvia, C. Koch, as restricted 
by Simon, who, in 1879, selected striolata as its type. 
Simon, however, believed that striolata was synonymous with 
dorsalis of Latreille; but according to Karsch (Arch. Nat. 
1880, p. 237) this is an error. Consequently since Gluvia 
has been affixed definitely to strdolata, the genus typified by
