Short stout apical spines above and externally. Tarsi of first and second legs thickly scopulate, metatarsus 
of first leg scopulate to the base on both sides, that of second leg nearly to the base on anterior side, the 
posterior side with scarcely any scopular hairs. Claws of first pair of legs with two rows, each of 6—9 
teeth, inner claw of fourth pair of legs with a pair of very minute teeth, the outer claw of these legs 
apparently muticous. 
Posterior sternal sagilla about V 3 of their length apart and a little more than this distance 
from the lateral margin of the sternum, each produced laterally into a slender process. 
Posterior Spinners with the apical segment about one-half longer than the penultimate segment 
(measured along underside). 
Total length (including chelicera) 14 mm; length of cephalothorax 5 2 / 3 mm, width 47 3 mm. 
Genus Ancylotrypa E. Sim. 
Ancylotrypa elongata n. sp. 
1 $ from Kooa, Kalahari, Bechuanaland Protectorate. 
Colour pale-yellowish , the cephalothorax with the thoracic portion as well as the sides and 
median part of the cephalic portion lightly browned, the chelicera reddish distally; abdomen with a blackish 
median basal stripe above reaching to the middle. 
Body elongate and narrow. 
Cephalothorax about i 2 / 3 times as long as wide, as long as the patella, tibia, metatarsus and 
about 2 / 3 of the tarsus of first leg, and a little longer than the tibia, metatarsus and tarsus of fourth leg. 
Ocular area nearly 2 1 / 2 times as wide as long, parallel-sided ; anterior row of eyes (seen from above) 
with the posterior margin in a straight line, the anterior margin being in a strongly procurved line, the 
lateral eyes large, oval, the medians small, slightly less than half as long as a lateral eye and nearer to 
the latter than to one another ; posterior row of eyes strongly recurved, the lateral eyes oval or subreniform, 
scarcely more than half as long as an anterior lateral eye and distant from the latter about half their own 
length, the median eyes appearing slightly smaller than the anterior medians (examined dry) and distant 
V 2 — Vs °f their diameter from the posterior lateral eyes. 
Legs. Tarsi I and II strongly laterally compressed, thinly scopulate distally on the innerside 
only (like that of the pedipalps), I— III not spined, IV with a number of spines along lower part of outer 
surface besides some distal spines on under and inner surfaces. Metatarsi not scopulate, I with 2 distal 
spines and 1 mesial and 1 basal spine or spiniform seta below, II with I basal, 2 mesial and 3 distal spines 
and spiniform setae below, III with a pair of apical spines below and a spiniform seta near the base, the 
anterior upper edge also with 3, the posterior upper edge with 2- — 3 strong spines, the outer surface 
sometimes with a weaker distal spine in addition, IV with a broad band of 10 — 12 spines arranged in about 
3 rows along the lower outer edge, the inner upper edge with 2 — 3 spines distally. Tibia I with a row 
of very slender spiniform setae below, II with a row of 4 or 5 stouter spines or spiniform setae below, 
III with a pair of long apical spines below, the outer surface besides with I apical (inferior), 3 — 4 mesial 
{in a transverse row) and 1 or 2 basal spines, the inner surface with a curved row of 4 stout spines 
commencing near base above and ending below distally, IV with a band of long spines and spiniform setae 
arranged in 2 — 3 rows below. Patella III with a group of numerous stout spinules occupying the anterior 
and upper surfaces, the posterior surface with an additional stout apical spine above, IV without spinules. 
Femur IV with a number of stout, mostly setiform spines overhanging the distal edge. Claws of
