of third leg with 1-2, that of fourth leg with 2-4 apical spines; no 
other spines on the tibiz; metatarsus spined as in g; first leg 
shorter than the fourth by 4-3 of the tarsus of the latter.* 
Apical segment of posterior spinners equal to or slightly longer or 
shorter than the ocular tubercle, and equal to or slightly longer than 
the penultimate segment. 
Measurements.—Total length 3 164, largest ? 214; length of cara- 
pace gf 63, 2 83, width 9 4:8, ? 64; length of tibia of first leg f 33, 
? 4, of metatarsus g 31, 9 34; distance from fovea to posterior

This species is fairly common round Cape Town. It lives in 
silk-lined holes under stones, like Harpactira. 
2. HARPACTIRELLA LONGIPES, N. sp. 
(a) One g (type, No. 3567) found by Mr. C. L. Leipoldt at the 
village of Clanwilliam. 
3. Colour much the same as in the $ of treleaveni, but the spots 
on the under side of the abdomen are not marked and the hairs on 
the upper side of the abdomen are yellowish. 
Carapace about 2 longer than wide, as long as the metatarsus 
together with + of the tarsus of fourth leg, and the tibia together 
with about 4 of the metatarsus of first leg. 
Tibia of first leg almost 4 times as long as high in the middle, 
its length slightly exceeding that of the metatarsus and also the 
distance from the fovea to the anterior margin of carapace. Meta- 
tarsus slightly but distinctly curved proximally to the middle, its 
length subequal to the distance from the fovea to the anterior 
margin of carapace. Spines of the legs as in treleaven. 
Pedipalpal bulb turbinate ; the process short, arcuate and slender, 
only slightly longer than the bulb, its distal portion filiform, curving 
outwards at the apex. 
Apical segment of posterior spirners subfusiform, about # longer 
than the penultimate segment and a little longer than the ocular 
tubercle. 
Measurements.—Total length 18; length of carapace 7:5, width 
54; length of tibia of first leg 5-1, of metatarsus 5; distance from 
fovea to anterior margin of carapace 9. 
(6) One g¢ from Porterville, Piquetberg Div. (Max Schlechter). 
Carapace with yellow hairs; the limbs with mouse-brown hairs ; 
the abdomen with ochre-yellow hairs. Carapace only a little longer 
than the metatarsus of fourth leg, and slightly longer than the tibia 
* The coxe are included in the length.
