{a) 1 ? from Henkries and 2 ad. g (including the largest) 

 found between Henkries and Wolftoon in Little Bushmanland {Max 

 Schlechter). 



(b) 1 ad. ^ from Naroep, Great Bushmanland (Max Schlechter). 



(c) 1 2 (the largest) from Naramoep, Great Bushmanland (Max

Kenhart Div., Cape Colony : — 



(d) 1 juv. ? from Beenbreek on the Orange Eiver, Great 

 Bushmanland (Max Schlechter). 



(e) 1 juv. ^ from Pofadder, Great Bushmanland (E. G. Alston). 

 This species is not known to occur south of Bushmanland in Cape 



Colony. Simon's type-specimen, which was obtained by Dr. Hans 

 Schinz in German South- West Africa, is evidently a $ , although 

 described as a (^ ; its colour is much darker, the caudal segments 

 are subequal in width, and the legs are quite smooth. 



The stout hand and tibia of the pedipalps, the elongated tail with 

 the middle lateral crest obsolete on the fourth segment, the smooth 

 interocular area in the ? , &e., characterise this species very 

 sharply.

<y ? . — Colour as in capensis, except that the vesicle is generally 

 slightly darker than the other caudal segments. 



Cephalothorax as in capensis, except that the anterior half of the 

 upper surface is generally (but not always) provided with a number 

 of hairs ; the eye-tubercle sometimes smooth in the groove above. 



Tergites and sternites as in capensis. 



Tail rather hairy. Eelative width and height of segments 1-6 

 exactly as given in the description of capensis. Crests of segments 

 1-4 as in capensis, except that the superior crest in segment 4 is 

 much more strongly dislocated in its middle, the anterior part being 

 often continued backwards on the outer side of the uppermost portion 

 for a short distance or even along the whole length of the latter. 

 Superior crests of segment 5 as in capensis, except that the accessory 

 crests are more distinct, one or more of the granules which compose 

 it being strongly conical and, especially the posteriormost one, often 

 sharply pointed and tooth-like ; lateral inferior crests of segment 5 

 with the posterior teeth enlarged and lobe-like. 



Upper surface of caudal segments in most respects exactly agree- 

 ing with the description of capensis, the differences being (1) the 

 anterior edge of the shagreened area projects convexly forwards in
