1899.J AND SPIBERS FROM TROPICAL WjEST AFRICA. 841 



Selenogyrus aureus Poc. 



Selenogyrus aureus, Poc. op. cit. p. 768, pi. xli. figs. 2-2 a. 



Loc. Sierra Leone (no further history). 



Hapalopus africanus Simon, from Assinie (Ann. Soc. Eut. Pr. 

 1887, p. 275), perhaps belongs to the genus Selenogyrus (see 

 Pocoek, P. Z. S. 1897, p. 774, note). 



Genus Miaschistopus Poc. 



Miasohistopus rapidus Poc. 



Miaschistopus rapidus, Poc. Proc. Zool, Soc. 1897, p. 770, 

 pi. xli. fig. 5. 



Loc. W. Africa {Keyserlintj Coll.). 



Subfamily EumenophoriNjE, 

 Pocoek, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1897, pp. 772 & 773. 



Genus Eumenophorus Poc. 



EUMEl!fOPHORUS CLEMENTSI PoC. 



Eumenopliorus clementsii, Poe. Proc. Zool, Soc. 1897, p. 766. 

 Loc. Sierra Leone {Sm^g.-Capt. Clements). 



Genus Phone yusa Karsch. 



Phoneyusa, Karsch, Berl. ent. Zeit. 1884, p. 347 (type P. belan- 

 clana Karsch). 



Harpaxotheria, Simon, Actes Soc. Linn. Bord. 1889, p. 413 

 (type, H. antilope Simon). 



The species of Spiders here and in my previous paper on the 

 African fauna referred to Phoneyusa have been identified as 

 belonging to that genus on the strength of M. Simon's statement 

 (Hist. Nat. Araignees, i. p. 154, 1892) that the type species of 

 Phoneyusa and Harpaxotheria ai'e congeueric. 



Nevertheless it is possible that the two forms will prove gene- 

 rically separable. If Karsch's description of P. bdandana is reliable, 

 that species differs from all the species which I refer to Phoneyusa 

 and which doubtless belong to Harpaxotheria, in the strict sense of 

 the word, in the following features : — 



a. Carapace about one third longer than broad (34 : 22|) ; 



sternum also about one third longer than broad 



(15^ : 10^) ; tibiiB of legs with many apical spines, 8-9 



on the 1st and 2nd, 4 on the 3rd and -ith helandana Karsch. 



h. Length of carapace and sternum exceeding the respective 



widths bv less than one quarter of the length ; tibijE of 



legs in $ at most with a pair of apical spines antilope Sim. 



occidentalis, Luc, hiittneri, Karsch (? spinal armature).
