New South African Trap-Door Spiders. 307 
length of the segment, while metatarsus III is thinly scopular in the 
distal third. Claws as in 4. lanata. 
Measwrements.—Total length 14; length of carapace 54, width 4. 
Closely related to the previous species, but easily distinguishable 
by the longer spinners, the more numerously spined legs and, 
especially, by the group of spines on the tarsus of the pedipalps. 
3. HERMACHA CURVIPES 0. sp. 
Types: 2 3 (No. 6011) collected by me under stones in a ravine 
on the mountainside at Simonstown, Cape Peninsula. 
3. Colowr.—Carapace brown, with some dark radiating lines, 
rather thinly clothed with long, appressed, pale yellowish, silky hairs, 
the margins with erect black hairs and bristles ; cheliceree reddish 
brown, with pale yellowish hairs and black bristles; pedipalps 
ochraceous to pale yellowish ; legs pale ochraceous, more or less 
faintly infuscated, especially on the femora, the 3 distal segments of 
the first leg dark reddish; under side of coxe and sternum pale 
ochraceous ; abdomen pale yellowish, the upper side with a median 
longitudinal and several obliquely transverse black stripes and a 
number of smaller irregular black markings, the under surface with 
a small black spot in front of each posterior spinner and a more 
anterior transverse row of 4 spots; posterior spinners infuscated 
below. 
Carapace about as long as the metatarsus and 2-4 of the tarsus of 
fourth leg but equal to or longer than the metatarsus and tarsus and 
equal to the tibia and 3-} of the metatarsus of first leg. Fovea 
transverse or subrotund. 
— Ocular area.—Anterior row of eyes transverse, the posterior 
margins of the eyes (when seen from above) forming a very distinctly 
recurved line, the lateral eyes large, twice or nearly twice as long 
as the median eyes, their distance from the anterior margin 
equal to or slightly less than the diameter of the median eyes; 
posterior row of eyes lightly recurved, the median eyes oval, slightly 
exceeding the anterior medians in length but smaller than and 
almost touching the posterior lateral eyes; the latter large, but 
smaller than the anterior laterals and almost touching them. 
Labium muticous. Core of pedipalps with numerous teeth at 
the base, the more distal ones much more scattered than the 
proximal ones. 
Posterior spinners very long, considerably longer than the sternum 
and labium together and about 3 or # as long as the abdomen, the 
slender distal segment subequal to or slightly longer than the stoutish
