South African Arachnicla. 199' 



cephalothorax densely and coarsely granular almost throughout, 

 smooth only on a small area at the summit of each lateral convexity.. 



Opisthophthalmus gkanifrons Poc. 



Additional specimens of the principal form. — 1 ad. ? and 4 ad. <y 

 from Concordia (/. H. G. KrapoM) : Number of pectinal teeth in 

 ? 12, in 3 15-16 (rarely 17) ; length of cephalothorax in $ 14 mm., 

 in 3 11|^-15^ mm. ; tarsus of third leg always with an external 

 inferior spine '•' ; granulation of last abdominal sternite in 3 as in th& 

 specimens from Steinkopf. These specimens agree very closely with 

 those from Steinkopf.

(b) 9 ad. 5 from Eed House Station (about 9-10 miles from Port 

 Elizabeth), Uitenhage Div. (J. L. Drege) : Number of pectinal teeth 

 11-14; length of cephalothorax 11-12^ mm. 



(c) 12 $ (9 ad.) and 3 3 (2 ad.) from Dunbrody on the Sundays 

 Eiver, Uitenhage Div. {Eev. J. A. O'Neil): Number of pectinal teeth 

 in 5 10-14, in <3^ 14-16; length of cephalothorax in ad. 2 llf-15mm.,. 

 in ad. <y 12^12f mm. 



The colour in all these specimens is much as described by 

 Kraepelin, but the fingers are blackish green and the sides of the 

 cephalothorax are often more or less deeply tinged with olive- 

 greenish. The ? has been described in detail by Kraepelin (Jahrb. 

 Hamb. Anst. v. 11, p. 102, 1894) but not the 3, the principal 

 characters of which are the following : — 



3 . Cephalothorax equalling or very slightly exceeding the first 

 and second caudal segments in length (equalling the first and second 

 and half of the third in the $ ) ; surface of interocular area smooth 

 or very weakly granular (as is also the case in the ? ). 



Tergites 1-6 finely shagreened, the posterior ones more coarsely 

 granular laterally behind (in the ? these segments are smooth, or 

 more or less granular laterally). 



Sternites of abdomen thickly covered with large coarse tubercles 

 (smooth only along the anterior border of segment 1 and on the 

 lung- books of the anterior segments), which are strongly transverse 



* Pocock (Ann. IMag. N.H., ser. 6, v. 17, p. 24.2) records a young specimen from 

 Concordia, in which this spine was absent.
