738 MR. E. i. POCOCK ON ETHIOPIAiS- SPIDEllfe. [Juiie 15, 



The only other known species of this genus is its type H. honesta, 

 Karsch, from Loango (SB. Nat. Freunde Berlin, 1879, p. 64). 

 H. spinipes certainly appears to dififer from honesta in several 

 points. For example, in the latter the spinnerets are shorter than 

 the carapace (6 mm. : 7*2 mm.), and on the tip of the tibia of the 

 1st leg on the inner side there are some long strong spines. 



The only other known Ethiopian members of this family are : — 



Macrothele gabonemis, Lucas, Ai'ch. Ent. 1858, p. 382. Gaboon 

 (? generic position).

 From W. Africa.

These three species are unknown to me. Their generic deter- 

 mination appears to be doubtful.

Genus Eubeachtceecus, nov. 



Carapace oval, longer than wide ; thoracic fovea broad, deep, its 

 extremities procurved ; cephalic area moderately elevated, com- 

 pressed posteriorly, the radiating grooves deep : ocidar tubercle 

 moderately high. Eyes of anterior line strongly procurved, laterals 

 close to the edge of the clypeus (not including the membranous 

 border of the plate as clypeus), their posterior angles slightly in 

 advance of the anterior border of the medians ; distance between the 

 medians almost equal to their diameter, distance between medians 

 and laterals a little greater than diameter of the former ; distance 

 between the two laterals a little greater than the diameter of the 

 anterior medians, and nearly if not quite equal to the long diameter 

 of the anterior medians ; distance between anterior and posterior 

 medians nearly equal to radius of the former, the posterior medians, 

 being close to the posterior laterals, about half their size, with their 

 short diameter about equal to the radius of the anterior medians, 

 which are a little smaller, area for area, than the anterior laterals ; 

 the membranous clypeus at least as long as the long diameter of 

 the anterior lateral eyes, which are separated fi'om each other by a 

 space which a little excels t\\ice their long diameter. 



Mandibles with rake consisting of thickened spiniform setae, 

 intermingled with the normal setae and overhanging the base of 

 the fang ; external surface of mandible naked below ; the lower 

 margin furnished with a single row of about 9 teeth and a few 

 granules behind. 



Maxillce with a cluster of clavate granules on their basal inner 

 angle. 



Labnan much wider than long ; with a few (3) serially arranged 

 clavate granules on the distal margin.
