 absent in segment 4 ; intercarinal spaces in segments 1-4 mostly

 5 rather thickly granular, the under surface with coarse granules 

 which form accessory crests in the anterior part ; vesicle distinctly 

 granular below.

 twice as long as hand-back, the lobe at base very weak. 



Legs granular exteriorly.

Localities in Cape Colony. — {a) 2 ad. 3 (types, reg. no. 475), 3 ad. 

 2 and a number of juv. from round the village of Beaufort West 

 (T7. F. Purcell). I also collected two 3 of U. carinatus in the same 

 locality, but these were easily distinguishable by their colour (see 

 under {a), p. 178). 



[h) 1 ad. 3 and 1 2 from Laingsburg, Prince Albert Div. (TT". F.
