740 Mil. E. 1. POCOCK ON El'HIOPIAN SPlDEItS. [Juue 15, 



(? 1 at base of protarsal scopula) ; 2nd leg with one spine at base 

 and another at apex of protarsal scopula ; tibia and protarsus of 2nd 

 and 3rd strongly spined, especially in front ; the patella; thickly 

 studded with spiniforin setae ; spinuliform hairs on the anterior 

 aspect of the base of the coxae, especially of the 1st and 2nd legs ; 

 tibia of palp spined beneath, its tarsal scopula divided. 



Abdomen rather coarsely and sparsely hairy. 



Measurements i)i mUlimetres. Total length 14 ; length of carapace 

 5-5, width 4-.5 ; length of palp 9, of 1st leg 13-5, of 2nd 12-3, of 

 3rd 11-2, of 4th 17-5. 



Loc. Somaliland {Dr. Donaldson Smith). A single female 

 example, intermixed with immature and unidentified examples of 

 a species of Pterinocliilus. 



Genus BEACHioifOPrs, nov. 



Somewhat allied to the preceding, with substantially the same 

 ocular arrangement, but the tubercle situated some little distance 

 from the anterior border of the carapace, the clypeus thus consti- 

 tuted being about equal to half the length of the tubercle. The 

 sternal sigilla are situated as in Euhrachycercus, and the labium is 

 only furnished with a few minute granules ; the adjacent area on 

 the maxilla being also sparsely granular. Lerjs short and robust ; 

 the scopulae are not broader tlian the segments, and the tarsal 

 scopula of the palp and of the 1st leg are entire, those of the 2nd 

 and 3rd just visibly divided, that of the 4th more distinctly so ; the 

 protarsal scopulae of 3rd and 4th, though not very thick, extend 

 past the middle of the segment ; there are spines on the legs and 

 the ungual tufts are exceedingly thick, completely concealing the 

 two claws, which are not toothed. On the mandible there is a 

 scarcely perceptible rastellum ; some of the hairs being merely 

 thickened and spiniform. The basal segment of the posterior 

 spinners is about as long as the other two, and the second is a little 

 longer than the conical apical segment. 



Bhachionopus eobustfs, sp. n. (Plate XLII. fig. 4.) 



Colour. Carapace and abdomen covered with golden brown hairs ; 

 mottled on the abdomen, especially at the sides and below, with 

 blackish ; small spots of brighter coloured hairs on the tibiae and 

 protarsi of the legs, and narrow bands of light coloured hairs at 

 the extremities of the segments. 



Carapace oval, cephalic area but little elevated, narrow ; about 

 as long as the patella, tibia, and protarsus of the 1st leg, and as 

 the patella, tibia, and half the protarsus of the 4th ; longer than 

 the tarsus and protarsus of the 4th. 



Legs short and robust ; 4, 1, 2, 3 ; patella and tibia of 1st about 

 equal to those of 2nd; patella of 1st longer than the tibia, much 

 longer than the protarsus ; patella of 4th equal to its tibia, shorter 

 than its protarsus ; palp without spines ; 1st and 2nd legs with a 

 single spine at the apex of the protarsus beneatli ; tibia of 3rd 

 armed m ith two spiues below and one in front, protarsus with one
