262 Mr. R. J. Pocock on the Genera and 
upwards at an angle of 45°, straight throughout the greater 
part of its length, but with the slender apex curved down- 
wards. 
Palp with its tibia a little longer than the tarsus and pro- 
tarsus, the latter only lightly curved, scopulate beneath ; 
tibia of palp just about equal to that of fourth leg, shorter 
than protarsus of latter; palp shorter than third leg and not 
two thirds the length of the fourth leg. 
Legs long and slender, 
Measurements in millimetres of type (g).—Total length 30, 
length of mandible 7, of palp 24°5, of first leg 22, of second 
leg 20, of third leg 26, of fourth leg 43, of tibia of palp 8, of 
its protarsus and tarsus 7°5, of tibia of fourth leg 8, of its 
protarsus 8°8. 
Loc. Gadzima on the Umfuli (4200 feet), in Mashonaland 
(G. A. K. Marshall). 
Solpuga caffra, sp. n. 
Colour. Cephalic plate, mandibles, and limbs a uniform 
deep olive-green, paler towards the extremities of the legs; 
tergal plates of the abdomen coal-black, the rest of this region, 
as well as the cephalothorax, olive-green; the pubescence 
covering the integument silky white and red; edges of 
malleoli infuscate. 
Width of cephalic plate much exceeding the length of the 
tibia or of the protarsus and tarsus of palp and equal to the 
tibia and nearly half the protarsus of the fourth leg; ocular 
tubercle clothed with slender, not spiniform, sete. ‘Tibia of 
fourth leg exceeding protarsus by about half the length of the 
first segment of the tarsus. 
Measurements in millimetres.—Total length 52, length of 
mandible 16; width of head-plate 12°3; length of palp 30, 
of fourth leg 47, of tibia of palp 9°3, of its tarsus and pro- 
tarsus 10; tibia of fourth leg 9°2, protarsus 7°8. 
Loc. Estcourt, in Natal (4000 feet alt.). 
Two adult females obtained by Mr. G. A. K. Marshall, 
who informs me that he saw but failed to capture a third 
specimen at the junction of the Blue Krantz and Tugela 
Rivers. 
In the uniformly dark infuscate tint of its head, jaws, 
limbs, and abdomen this species resembles the two species 
Butleri and nigrescens, which were described in Ann. & Mag. 
Nat. Hist. (6) xvi. p. 88 (1895).
