Localities in Cape Colony. — {a) Type : 1 ? (reg. no. 2,976) from 

 Naroep, Great Bushmanland, Namaqualand Div. {Max Schlechter). 

 U. carinatus also occurs near this place (see under (e), p. 178). 



(&) 1 ? from Namies, Gt. Bushmanland, Kenhart Div. {Max 

 ScJilechter). Another species, which I believe to be identical with 

 U. alstoni, n. sp., occurs in this locality also (see under {d), p. 182). 



(c) 1 2 from Nous, Gt. Bushmanland, in the northern part of 

 Kenhart Div. {Max Schlechter).

a. U. triangidifer {typicus). Tergites of abdomen fuscous, black or 

 greenish-black, with three rather wide, longitudinal, yellow stripes (a 

 median and two marginal) and a large > -shaped yellow mark on 

 •each side of the median stripe ; cephalothorax with much yellow ; 

 caudal segments with infuscate stripes below and generally also on 

 the sides, the fifth segment generally more or less infuscate ; the 

 iemora of legs, when partially infuscated, with the infuscate marks 

 present in the distal part of the outer surface at least. (Pedipalps 

 with the tibia, except at base, and the hands, except on the fingers, 

 more or less infuscate or black, the hands provided with stripes and 

 reticulation.) The specimens in the collection with this typical 

 colouration fall into two groups : — 



* U. triangidifer has been recorded by Pocock from Pretoria and Pietersburg 

 (Transvaal), Basutoland, and Port Elizabeth, and by Penther from the Albany 

 Div. (C. Col.).
