dentate. They differ strikingly from the genera known to me ; 

 while Ancylotnjpa is said to differ from Aporoptychus in ha\-ing the 

 labium as wide as long (in Aporoptych^is it is much longer than 

 broad) and the posterior tarsus spined. 



CyrtaucJienms and Uomostola belong to the Cyrtaucheniete, which 

 differ from the Ctenizese in having the anterior legs scopulate and no 

 angular prolongation for the rastellum on the mandible. Cyrtau- 

 chenius has the posterior line of eyes -wider than the anterior, and 

 the latter strongly procurved; in Homoxtola, on the contrary, the 

 two ocular lines are subequal, the first not strongly procurved, &c. 



The remaining two genera, namely Hermaclia and Spiroctenus, 

 fall into the Nemesiese, which differ from the Cyrtaucheneae in 

 having the head lower and the thoracic fovea transverse or recurved. 

 In HermacJia the claws are furnished with two series of teeth ; 

 while in Spiroctenus there is but one.

Of this species the British Museum has one example from 

 Uitenhage, near Port Elizabeth, whence the original specimens 

 were obtained.

The British Museum has specimens of this species from Grahams- 

 town, whence they were received together with their nests from 

 the Eev. N. Abraham, who originally forwarded examples of this 

 species to Mr. Cambridge. The typical examples of tidmarshi 

 were from the same locality, and since the description of the two 

 forms agree, there is no reasou for supposing them to be 

 distinct. Mons. Simon placed this species in the genus Migas, the 

 type of which comes from New Zealand; but as 1 have elsewhere 

 (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xvi. p. 187) stated, I can see no valid 

 reason for regarding it as other than a well marked species of 

 Moggridgea.
