(ec) An immature specimen (26 mm. in length) from Jonkershoek, 
in the Stellenbosch Div., found by myself. The short hairs are 
yellowish. | 
(f) Three immature specimens (the largest 23 mm. in length) from 
Knysna, collected by myself. Darker specimens, the short hairs on 
the legs and abdomen greenish-yellow to light olivaceous, the cara- 
pace with olivaceous hairs between the yellow stripes. 
HT. cafreriana is easily recognised by the position of the lower 
group of notes, which is much more isolated posteriorly than in 
any of the other species known to me. JH. chrysogaster, Poc., with 
similar notes is probably merely a colour variety. The apical seg- 
ment of the posterior spinners is longer than the penultimate segment 
(up to + longer), and subequal to or more or less considerably longer 
than the ocular tubercle. 
Walckenaer describes the colour of his specimens as “rouge clair, 
uniforme dans les femelles, gris de souris dans le male,” meaning, I 
presume, that the female is of a uniform light reddish colour and the 
male reddish, mingled with mouse-grey. Koch’s male is described 
as of a “very beautiful yellowish red, almost fiery red,” colour. In 
both cases the carapace is represented as uniformly coloured, and 
therefore most like that of our example from Swellendam. In size 
our specimens nearly resemble the two figured males. The pedi- 
palpal bulb, as figured by Walckenaer, is also closely similar, except 
that the process is more arcuate than in our examples. 
_H. villosa (Walck.) is said to be like cafreriana, except that it is 
more hairy. These two species are probably identical.
