Species of Tropical African Solifuge. 259 
Mandible armed above, throughout its length, with setiform 
spines protecting the flagellum. Basal lamina of flagellum 
moderately high, rounded, the terminal portion curving back- 
wards on a level with the first tooth of the upper fang, lying 
close to the basal lamina and extending almost back to the 
ocular tubercle, its apex simple, undivided, its distal third 
strongly sinuate. Only one small tooth between the second 
and third largest teeth on the upper fang. 
Palp with its tibia a little longer than the tarsus and pro- 
tarsus (15°5: 15) and excelling the length of the tibia of the 
fourth leg (15°5: 14), which also exceeds the length of the 
fourth protarsus (14:18); third leg shorter than the palp, 
its protarsus equal to the width of the head; fourth leg 
longer than the palp by half its protarsus and the tarsus. 
Measurements in millimetres.—Total length 53; length of 
mandible 12°8; width of head 9; length of palpus 48, of 
first leg 40, of second 35, of third 43, of fourth 66. 
Loc. Kleinpoort, in the Eastern Karroo; taken in a house 
(Miss Anna Howarth: type). Also damaged specimens of 
apparently the same species from South Africa (Dr. Quazn) 
and Port Elizabeth (J. JZ. Leslie). 
This species seems to differ from S. lethalis, Koch, in 
having no tooth near the apex of the flagellum, such as is 
found in the male of /ethalis according to Karsch and accord- 
ing to a specimen identified as letha/is in the collection of the 
British Museum. 
Solpuga Darlingti, sp. n. (Fig. 5.) 
?.—Colour. Prevailing tint an ochre-yellow, the head- 
plate infuscate ; femora and tibize of the posterior legs, espe- 
cially the fourth pair, as well as the tibia and distal end of 
the femur of the palpus, also infuscate ; legs of first pair pale ; 
tergal plates of abdomen not noticeably darker than the lateral 
portions. 
Cephalic plate about equalling in width the length of the 
protarsus of the palp, distinctly less than that of the tibia, 
also a little less than the length of the tibia or of the protarsus 
of the fourth leg; width of ocular tubercle less than length 
of tarsus of palp; the sete on the tubercle spiniform. 
Mandibles armed as in S. ferox, Poc. (Ann. & Mag. Nat. 
Hist. (6) xvi. p. 83), from Port Elizabeth ; legs also clothed 
and armed as in ferox; mal/eoli small, with the inner angle 
nearly rectangular. Genital operculum with its posterior 
border transverse, the inner angles of each half not produced, 
but rectangular.
