JOS W. F. PüRCELL, 6 
Colour as in leipoldti. 
Cephalothorax as long as the patella, tibia, and */s — 7 /a °f tne metatarsus of first leg and slightly 
exceeding the tibia, metatarsus and half the tarsus of fourth leg. Ocular area wide, its width behind equal 
to the lengtli of the metatarsus together with V 2 — 3 / 4 of the tarsus of first leg but distinctly (about l / 8 ) less 
than that of the fourth metatarsus. Eyes much closer together than in leipoldti and schreineri; the anterior 
laterals l ) large and oval, placed close to the anterior margin, the small medians remote from the margin and 
nearer to the laterals than to one another, their hind margins in a line with those of the laterals, when 
viewed from above; posterior row of eyes recurved, the posterior eyes larger than in leipoldti and schreineri, 
the medians strongly oval, very close to the laterals and almost touching them, larger than these and very 
much larger than the anterior medians ; the area formed by the posterior- median and anterior lateral eyes 
slightly narrower behind than in front; distance between the posterior and anterior lateral eyes considerably 
less than the long diameter of the latter, the distance between the former pair of eyes only very slightly 
less than the width of the anterior row of eyes. 
Pedipalps with a band of about 8 or 9 shortish spines extending along the greater part of the 
innerside of the tarsus, and a large distal and small proximal spine on innerside of the tibia; the upper- 
side of the tarsus with a long band of minute red spinules, extending from the base to slightly beyond the 
middle of the Segment, the distal spinules very obtuse and granuliform, the tibia with a large distal group 
of spinules above extending over one-third of the length of the Segment at least. 
Legs. Length of tibia of first leg equal to that of the metatarsus and very slightly exceeding 
the width of the anterior row of eyes but much less than the width of the posterior row of eyes; tibia with 
an internal band of 1 1 — 15 spines occupying the distal third at least, the upper surface with a tiny apical 
patch of minute spinules; metatarsus with a long band of minute spinules above extending from base to 
beyond the middle of the segment. Second leg with the band of spines on outer surface of the tarsus 
broad, the inner surface of the tibia with 6—8 spines, the band of spinules on the upperside of the meta- 
tarsus only slightly shorter than that of first leg and almost reaching to the middle of the segment. Third 
leg spined as in schreineri' 2 ), except that the posterior surface of the tarsus has 5 or more spines, the anterior 
surface of the metatarsus only 10 — 12 spines and its posterior surface 14—22 spines. Fourth leg as in 
schreineri. 
Labium with 5 apical teeth in two rows. 
Total length (including chelicera) 18 mm; length of cephalothorax 8 mm, width 6 1 /» mm; length of 
metatarsus of first leg 2 3 / 4 mm ; width of ocular area 3 1 /* mm. 
A very well-marked species and easily distinguished from leipoldti and schreineri by the length of 
the patch of spinules on the upper surface of the tarsus of the pedipalps and of the metatarsi of the first 
two pairs of legs. 
2. Stasimojtns obscurus n. sp. 
1 ? from Little Namaqualand. (Dr. Schultze states that he is not absolutely certain thatthe locality 
here given for this $ is quite correct.) 
Colour of carapace and limbs brown, the two posterior pairs of legs being lighter ; abdomen black, 
paler below. 
i) In one specimen one of these eyes is abnormal and the remarks on the anterior lateral eyes do not refer to those of 
this specimen. 
2) In the original description of schreineri the metatarsus of the third leg is stated to be "with an apical patch of spines 
or setae below". This is a misprint and should of course read "with out an apical patch of spines or setae below", as may be 
seen from the synoptic table in Ann. S. Afr. Mus., Vol. III, p. 85, 1003.
