without scopula. Metatarsus I. strongly curved, being concave 

 below in the basal two-thirds, the under side scopulate distally 

 and provided with 1 inner and 3 outer spines, the outer surface 

 besides with 1 spine and the inner surface with a pair of strong 

 mesial spines ; II. only slightly curved, scopulate distally, with 

 1-3 inner and 2-3 outer spines below, the outer surface besides with 

 0-1 spine and the inner surface with 2-4 other spines ; III. and 

 IV. not scopulate distally. Tibia I. stout, only slightly incrassated 

 distally, the 2 spurs resembling those of S. collinus, the under sur- 

 face with 1-2 inner and 3 outer spines, the outer surface with no 

 other spines but the inner surface with 3 ; the inner apical spine on 

 under surface situated as in pallidipes, n. sp. 



Length of trunk 10^- mm., of carapace 5 ; width of carapace 4 J-. 



A very distinct species, related to S. collinus (Poc), tricalcaratus 

 and goolcli (Pure), but with much slenderer palpal spine and darker 

 and shorter legs. In the shortness of its legs it resembles S. light- 

 footi (Pure).

Haepactieella schwaezi, n. sp. 



1 $ (No. 12928) from Vleikuil, north of Blyde Berg, Wiliowmore 

 Div., Cape Colony (E. H. L. Schwarz). 



Closely allied to H. karrooica, Pure. (Trans. S. A. Phil. Soc, 

 vol. xi., p. 344, 1902), but slightly darker in colour. 



Carapace (measured laterally to the ocular area) slightly longer 

 than the tibia and metatarsus of first leg. Posterior median eyes 

 small, shortly oval or subrotund, much shorter than the anterior 

 median eyes, and separated from the latter by their own width. (In 

 karrooica these eyes are larger, more strongly truncated behind, and 

 separated by less than half their own width from the anterior median 

 eyes.) 



Tibia of first leg slightly exceeding the metatarsus in length, but 

 much shorter than the distance from the fovea to the posterior 

 margin of the ocular tubercle. Anterior metatarsi not spined. 



Apical segment of spinners distinctly (about J) longer than the 

 middle segment but a little shorter than the ocular tubercle. 



Length (including chelicera) 27 mm., length of carapace 10J.
