sated hands (apparently adults, measuring from 49 mm. to 68 mm. 

 in length) and 2 $ (64 mm. and 84 mm. in length), all from Nama- 

 qualand Div., Cape Colony; also an immature <? and ? , measuring 

 50 mm. and 44 mm. respectively, from Kenhart Div., Cape 

 Colony. 



^ ? . Colour. — Pale ochraceous ; the legs paler sulphur-yellow ; 

 the abdomen sometimes slightly darkened ; the last 3 caudal seg- 

 ments brow^n, in places sometimes almost black, the first 3 segments 

 pale ochraceous ; ocular tubercle black. 



Cephalothorax about as long as broad, its length sometimes 

 slightly exceeding, sometimes slightly less than, the breadth ; 

 extending from each side of the median eye-tubercle obliquely 

 forwards and outwards nearly as far as the lateral eyes is a slightly 

 depressed smooth area ; the interocular area smooth and polished in 

 the ? , but granular in the 3' (weakly granular in the young ^ and 

 $ from Kenhart Div.) ; rest of the cephalothorax rather finely 

 granular ; upper surface almost or quite destitute of hairs ; median 

 eye-tubercle quite smooth, broad, the eyes large, the distance between 

 them about 2-2J times their diameter. 



Tergites smooth or nearly so in the 2 (minutely granular in 

 the (?* ) in the anterior part, more coarsely granular in the posterior 

 part, of each of the first 6 segments ; seventh segment thickly 

 granular laterally, finely shagreened mesially. 



Sternites 1-4 finely granular only at the extreme lateral borders ; 

 last segment with a few weak lateral granules, the keels often 

 almost obsolete. 



Tail comparatively long and slender, sparsely pilose, the segments 

 gradually decreasing in width from the first to the sixth (?) or from 

 the second or third to the sixth, the first 2 or 3 segments being then 

 equally wide (<?), the fourth always decidedly narrower than the 

 first ; segments 4 and 5 long and low, of almost equal height but 

 sensibly lower than segments 1-3 ; width of vesicle i-f that of fifth 

 segment ; aculeus very long, longer than the vesicle. 



Segments 1-3 with 10 mostly coarsely granular keels, but the 

 4 inferior keels wholly smooth in segment 1 and smooth anteriorly 

 in segment 2, the middle lateral keels also often smooth in the 

 anterior part. Segment 4 with only 8 strongly developed keels, of 

 which the infero-median ones are abbreviated posteriorly ; the middle 

 lateral keel in this segment rudimentary, represented at most by a 

 smooth, barely perceptible ridge anteriorly and a few, mostly weak 

 granules posteriorly. Superior crests in segments 2-4 sometimes 

 with a slightly enlarged but not spiniform posterior tooth ; this crest
