The principal feature of capensis is the thinness of the hand in the 

 ad. ^ . In almost all the other species of the genus the hand is 

 more or less strongly incrassated in the adult of this sex, and the 

 statement that this is also the case in capensis, made by several 

 previous authors, is a mistake, doubtless due to the confusion of 

 several species. I have never observed the upper surface of the 

 tibia of the pedipalps quite smooth, but as the granulation here is 

 often very weak, this may possibly sometimes be the case.
