Pedipalps as in P. pallidipes and P. nigriceps (Purc.) (Trans. S. Afr. Phil. Soc, Vol. XI, p. 358, 
1902), but with the process of the bulb considerably longer than the bulb. 
Legs. Tarsus I straight, cylindrical, scopulate below in the anterior half only, without spines; 
II to IV slightly inflated below and more densely scopulate to the base, II and III unspined or III with 
1—4 spines on anterior side, IV with o— I on inner and 3—4 on outer surfaces. Metatarsi without 
scopular hairs, I slightly concave along both inner and undersides, with two spines only (along lower outer 
edge). Tibia I decidedly shorter than the metatarsus, the underside with a double row composed of 
1—2 inner and 3 — 4 outer spines, the inner and outersides besides with 2—3 other spines each. All the 
claws with a double row of teeth below, the anterior legs with 6—9, the posterior with 5 — 8 teeth in 
each row. 
Abdomen with some long spines at base above. Posterior Spinners with the apical segment 
considerably longer than the middle segment, these two Segments together slightly longer than the basal 
segment. 
Sternal sagilla very characteristic, the posterior pair being very large, pear-shaped, confluent in 
the median line, but with the outer pointed ends nearer to the lateral border of the sternum than to the 
median line. 
Total length (including chelicera) 15V2 mm '■> length of cephalothorax 6 2 / 8 mm; length of metatarsus 
of first leg 5V2 mm. 
Except in the formation of the sternal sagilla and some minor characters this species closely 
resembles the two species mentioned above. 
2. Pelmatorycter schnitzet n. sp. 
I ? from Kubub, Great Namaqualand, March or April 1904. 
Colour pale-ochraceous, the cephalic portion of the cephalothorax slightly infuscated posteriorly 
and along the sides and the median line, the chelicera reddish-yellow, the abdomen pallid, faintly infuscated 
along the median line above. 
Cephalothorax one-third longer than wide, as long as the tibia and metatarsus of fourth leg and 
as the tibia, metatarsus and tarsus of first leg. Ocular area decidedly more than twice as wide as long 
and parallel-sided ; the anterior eyes equidistant, their hind margins (seen from above) in a straight line, 
the lateral eyes large, oval ; posterior row of eyes with the anterior margin very slightly and the posterior 
margin strongly recurved , the median eyes very small and round , distant slightly less than their own 
diameter from the laterals, which are small, longish-oval (not reniform), hardly twice as long as the medians, 
and separated by almost their own length from the very much larger anterior lateral eyes. 
Legs. Tarsus I with 2, II with 3 outer spines, III with I posterior dorsal spine, 3 anterior 
dorsal spines and several other anterior spines below these, IV with several spines on lower part of anterior 
and posterior sides. Metatarsi I and II with 3 apical, 2 — 3 mesial and 2 basal spines below, III with a 
band of spines along upper part of anterior surface, a row along the postero-dorsal edge and several long 
spines below, at least at the apex, IV with many spines below but only one or none along the upper inner 
edge. Tibiae I and II with an outer inferior row of five spines of which the apical one at least and, in 
the first leg, the third and fifth as well (or all) are strong and not setiform, III with no spines below but 
with 6 — 9 upper anterior, 3 dorsal and 2 — 3 posterior spines, IV without any spines or stout setae. Patella 
III covered with short spines on anterior surface and with 2 spines along postero-dorsal edge, IV with a 
number of short sharp spinules on anterior surface, especially at the base. FemurIVwith a dense group of
