the middle in segment 2 as well as in segment 1, (2) the shagreened 

 area in segment 2 is broadly and somewhat deeply excavated in its 

 anterior two-thirds, (3) the posterior edge of segment 2 is strongly 

 elevated and curved forioards in the middle above, forming a very 

 characteristic tongue-like elevation, also developed although less 

 strongly in segment 3. 



Lateral and under surfaces densely and in the posterior segments 

 coarsely granular between the keels, except in the anterior part of 

 segments 1-3 where they are more or less smooth ; granulation on 

 under side of segment 5 coarser than in capensis, very uneven, the 

 larger granules strong and conical but not forming distinct secondary 

 crests, the median crest as in capensis. Vesicle coarsely granular 

 below and on the sides. 



Pedipalps. — Tibia stout, its anterior side strongly prominent a 

 little proximal to the middle ; length of tibia along upper side in the 

 ? 2^-2 J, in the ad. ^ 2^2^- times its width at the base of the 

 large anterior tooth ; upper surface finely granular, with its anterior 

 crest obsolete or only partially developed ; the posterior surface 

 smooth or nearly so. 



Hand stout, its width somewhat exceeding that of the tibia in the 

 $ and juv. <? and considerably exceeding it (by about one- 

 third) in the ad. $• ; the length of the tibia sub-equalling (or slightly 

 exceeding) twice the width of the hand in the J and nearly or quite 

 If times this width in the ad. 3- . Length of movable finger in ? 

 lf-l|, in the ad. <? 1^-1^ times as long as the hand-back. In not 

 quite adult males the hand is scarcely thicker than in the ? . 

 Movable finger with 13 (rarely 12 or 14) anterior flanking teeth, the 

 main rows in the middle third of the finger composed of 4-7 teeth 

 (including the enlarged basal tooth of each row). 



Legs. — External surface of femora and tibiae finely granular, or the 

 tibiae nearly smooth. 



Pectines with 32-36 teeth in the ? and 34-39 in the ^ , the 

 posterior basal lamella of scape produced into a broad lobe behind 

 in the ? , merely angular in the ^ . 



Measurements of a ^ . — Total length 91 ; length of cephalothorax 

 9^, width 10 ; distance of eyes from anterior margin 4, from posterior 

 margin 4f ; length of femur of pedipalp 6^, of tibia 7, of hand-back 

 4^, of movable finger 8^ ; width of femur 2^, of tibia 3i, of hand 3^; 

 length of tail 52|- ; length and width of first caudal segment 6f , 6f , of 

 second 7f , 6|, of third 7f , 6f , of fourth 8i, 6^, of fifth 10, 5|, of sixth 

 9i, 5 ; height of fourth segment 5;\, of fifth (not including superior 

 teeth) 4f ; length and width of upper surface of first segment 4i.
