Localities. — (a) Little Bushmanland : 1 ad. ? (type) and 1 ad. 3' 

 from between Henkries and Wolftoon, Namaqualand Div. [Max 

 Schlechter). Legs and pedipalps pale yellow ; trunk brownish yellow ; 

 tail pale ochraceous, the terminal segments brownish yellow ;. 

 chelicerae not blackened. 



(b) Great Bushmanland : 1 ad. ? and 2 juv. from Naroep, Nama- 

 qualand Div. (Max ScJiIcchter) ; 1 ad. 2 , 3 ad. 3' and several juv. 

 from Namies, Zw^art Modder, Beenbreek, and Bladgrond, all in 

 Kenhart Div. {(Max Schlechter) ; and 2 juv. from Pofadder, Kenhart 

 Div. {E. G. Alston). These specimens differ considerably from the 

 types in their darker colouration. The trunk is dark brown to- 

 greenish black, the tail yellowish brown to brown, the posterior 

 segments and the vesicle darker brown to olive-green below (in 

 young specimens the whole tail often dark olive-green), legs and 

 pedipalps pale yellow, chelicerae dark olive-green distally. 



This species is closely allied to transvaalicns, from which it differs 

 principally in having ithe surfaces of the tail much less thickly 

 granular and the posterior caudal segments more incrassated. It 

 is evidently also closely related to raudus (Simon) from German
