South African Arachnida. 219 



2 distal teeth strong, the thu'd smaller but not minute, the fourth 

 larger than the third and followed by 3 smaller outer teeth and 



3 inner teeth of the double series ; lower finger with 2 large teeth 

 and a small one between them. 



(3^ . Pcdipalps. — The truncated cylinder-bristles on the metatarsus 

 exti'emely dense and numerous, blackish brown, the shorter bristles 

 on the rest of the limb (tibia to coxa) mostly whitish. 



Legs. — Tarsus of fourth leg longer, 4-5 times as long as high and 

 mostly more distinctly bisegmented. Femur of fourth leg about 

 three times as long as high. 



Chelicercs with the dentition very similar to that of the $ , except 

 that the lower finger is provided with a low elevation on the inner 

 side near the apex. 



Flacjellum strongly laterally compressed, almost semicircular in 

 outline, the upper part laminate, with sharp and convex upper edge, 

 the lower part slightly inflated and hollow in the middle, with a 

 narrow opening on the inner side below ; anteriorly the flagellum 

 becomes narrower and is rotatably attached at the obtuse anterior 

 end to the inner side of the upper finger slightly behind the level of 

 the large second tooth ; the apex produced into 2 large horns 

 forming a crescent, the superior horn hairy. 



Total length of ad. $ 6i-9f , of largest ? 13i. 



Locality. — Several g- and ? specimens found running about in the 

 sunshine by the Eev. J. A. O'Neil at Dunbrody, on the Sundays 

 Eiver, Uitenhage Div., Cape Colony (Nov., Dec). 



In the 5 specimen of H. houvieri, Krpln. (Upper Zambesi), upon 

 which the genus was founded, the fourth tarsus, according to 

 Kraepelin, is unsegmented and at most three times as long as high, 

 but the (? is not known. The characteristic colouration of bojivieri, 

 however, very closely resembles that of o'neili, which is of the 

 diurnal type, while the Blossia are nocturnal. 



Gen. GLUVIOPSIS Krpln. 

 Gluviopsis austkalis, n. sp. 



(Fig. 8.) 



$ . Colour. — Chelicerse pale yellow, with some dark brown lines 

 and reticulation ; cephalothorax dark brown, the central area 

 reticulated, the median line pale yellow, the eyes black ; abdominal 

 segments pale yellow, bordered with dark brown along the hind 

 margins above, the posterior segments finely reticulated with brown
