New Genera and Species of South African Spiders. 117 



times as far from one another as from the lateral eyes, the latter 

 regularly oval and not attenuated behind, scarcely reniform ; area 

 formed by the 4 median eyes much wider than long and only very 

 slightly wider behind than in front. 



Pedipalps. — Tibia moderately turgid, its length more than twice 

 its height (which is equal to the length of the tarsus) and less than 

 twice the length of the patella, the short spines and spinules border- 

 ing the notch irregularly uniseriate in the distal half of the band but 

 about 4-seriate in the broad proximal half, which ends behind the 

 middle of the under surface. Tarsus with an apical group of spines, 

 its outer distal angle produced into a narrow lobe ; process of bulb 

 large, very thick, the distal portion curving forwards and concave in 

 front, the apex broad, rounded externally but angular internally, and 

 provided behind with a short curved spine. 



Legs. — Tarsi I.-II. with inneu and 3-4 outer spines, III. with 

 2 anterior and 3 posterior spines, IV. with 1 inner and 4-5 outer 

 spines. Metatarsus I. slightly curved and slightly thickened near 

 the middle, its inner side not concave and only slightly thickened 

 near the middle where it is unarmed or provided with a short spine, 

 the apex with 2 spines ; outer side with 6 inferior spines, extending 

 to near base. Tibia I. a little shorter than the metatarsus. 



Sternal sagilla small, submarginal, the posterior pair a diameter 

 and a half from the edge. 



Ghelicera with two well-developed rows of teeth below, each com- 

 posed of 3-4 large teeth alternating with two small teeth, the rows 

 of equal length. 



Total length (including chelicera) 12 mm., length of carapace 4f, 

 length of first tibia 3-J-. 



Gen. CTENOLOPHUS, n. gen. 



Allied to Idiops. Chelicera with a single row of large teeth below, 

 the teeth of the outer row being reduced to a few small posterior 

 denticles remote from the anterior end of lower margin ; the apical 

 process rather large and well developed. Posterior row of eyes 

 procurved, the lateral eyes emarginate internally, the area formed 

 by the 4 median eyes wider behind than in front in the $ . Labium 

 slightly (type) or more considerably broader than long, with 2-4 

 apical teeth in a single row. Sternum with 2 pairs of small marginal 

 sagilla. Coxae of third pair of legs without (type) or with a strip of 

 stout setae along hind margin of under side ; anterior coxae without 

 spinules on the sides.
