329. S. egregius. 



S. ximplicipes. Pering. 

 „ from the Transvaal. 



I propose to change the name of simplicipes to egregius ; the types 

 from which I described the species being females, the femoral tooth 

 was absent, whereas it is strongly developed in the male. Specimens 

 from Ovampoland are very pubescent.
