specimens) ; its length considerably less than that of the first tibia 

 or metatarsus in both sexes. 



Abdomen infuscated, with a double series of transverse, whitish or 

 yellowish stripes above extending more or less down the sides, the 

 anterior pairs with a median white stripe running between them ; 

 under surface with a white line on each side. Vulva consisting of a 

 hairy, yellowish, convex plate, more or less depressed in the middle 

 and marked with a pair of thick infuscate bands, which converge 

 anteriorly or form a A> the hind margin of the plate produced in the 

 mesial part into a broad naked tongue, which is sharply grooved on 

 each side of its surface (PL X., fig. 3). 



Legs very long and slender, a little longer in the $ than in the ? , 

 the first metatarsus in the $ longer than the tibia and slightly 

 curving upwards ; colour pale ochraceous, frequently with infuscate 

 bands (faint in the adult but strong in immature specimens), the 

 distal segments reddish-yellow to dark reddish. 



Pedipalps of $ very different from those of A. capensis and 

 schreineri ; patella short, truncated at right angles at distal end, its 

 height almost equal to its length along upper surface ; tibia much 

 shorter than thick, the distal end deeply emarginate in the middle 

 both above and below and above the middle on the inner side, the 

 apical spur at the inner upper margin short and small, not produced 

 beyond the level of the outer distal edge ; tarsus large, much longer 

 than the femur and than the patella and tibia together ; stylus of 

 palpal organ very long, forming a large C-shaped curve, over which 

 is stretched a white membrane completely covering the under side of 

 the tarsus (the stylus commences at the middle of the inner edge of 

 the tarsus and ends a little behind its origin in a short, claw-like 

 obtuse spur) ; outer edge of bulb with a short sharp spinous process 

 in the middle (hidden under the tarsus).
