On the South African ‘‘ Theraphoside.” 337 
slightly more than 4 of the distance from the fovea to the hind 
margin of the ocular tubercle. 
Total length 3 34, @ 36; length of carapace g 151, ? 15, width 
3 125, 2 12:2; length of tibia of first leg g 8, 2 64, of metatarsus 
& 82, 2 5:8; distance from fovea to posterior margin of ocular 
tubercle in 3 8, in ? 81. 
(c) One g from a coliection containing East African insects, &c., 
presented by Dr. J. D. F. Gilchrist. Hair-covering dark greenish- 
brown, including the fringe of carapace and the hair on legs and 
abdomen, the long hairs reddish distally and pale at the tips. 
Carapace as long as the fourth metatarsus together with nearly 4 
of the tarsus, and only slightly shorter than the tibia and metatarsus 
of first leg. 7 
(d) One dried g from the Zambesi River (J. fry). 
Pale stripes are entirely absent from the carapace in all the males, 
the latter being in good condition in the spirit specimens and in 
nowise rubbed. Although the ? example is so differently marked, I 
believe it to belong to the same species, as it has similar eyes and 
spinners. 
P. ngrofulvus, Poc., from Barberton, Transvaal, appears to be a 
nearly allied species with somewhat similar pedipalpal bulb, but the 
carapace is provided with radiating stripes of golden hairs, and 
the apical segment of the posterior spinners is presumably elongated 
as in P. vorax, Poe. 7 
The following South African species of Ptermochilus could not be 
identified from the specimens in the Collection :— 
P. ngrojulvus, Poc.; Ann. Mag: N. H.,s.7, v. 1, p. 317, 1898, ¢ and 
° from Barberton. | 
P. lugardi, Poce., ibid., v. 6, p. 318, 1900, g from near Lake Ngami. 
P. schénlandt, Poe., ibid., ¢ from Grahamstown. 
Harpactira elevata, Karsch, Monatsb. Ak. wiss. Berlin, 1878, p. 316 
(g and ? from Tette and Mozambique), probably also belongs to 
Pterinochilus, as suggested by Pocock. 
Gen. CHLOGENIUM, nov. 
Carapace about } longer than wide, the cephalic portion moderately 
convex in the ¢, the fovea moderately deep, strongly procurved, 
semicircular in form and situated more posteriorly than in Harpactira, 
its distance from the hind margin of the carapace only + of its dis- 
tance from the anterior margin along the median line. Ocular 
tubercle and eyes as in Harpactira. Fourth pair of legs slightly 
shorter than the first pair, the patella and tibia of the fourth pair
