anterior legs with 2 rows of numerous, minute, closely-set teeth , those of the posterior pair of legs 
muticous. 
Chelicera long, their length, taken below to distal edge of base of claw, scarcely less than the 
length of the sternum and labium together; rastellum strong, one tooth at inner angle much stouter than 
the others; the inner row of 7—8 stout teeth flanked quite posteriorly by a few very minute denticles. 
Coxae of pedipalps with the anterior edge lightly convex from base to apex and armed at the 
base with 2 large and 1 — 3 minute teeth. 
Labium much broader than long. 
Posterior sternal sagilla small and oval, about their own length from the lateral borders, 
their distance apart exceeding the width of the labium. 
Posterior Spinners with the apical segment stout and about 3 j i as long as the penultimate 
segment (seen from below). 
Total length (including chelicera) 12 mm ; length of cephalothorax 3V4 mm, width nearly 2 mm. 
This spider differs from the females of AncyJotrypa in the South African Museum (from Port 
Elizabeth and Hanover) in being more elongate, with relatively longer chelicera and slightly broader labium 
the sagilla of the sternum also slightly smaller and further apart, the apical segment of the Spinners relatively 
much shorter, the anterior legs much less scopulate and somewhat more compressed and with the claws 
more numerously and minutely toothed. 
Genus Hermachet E. Sim. 
Specimens. a) I $ of this genus from Kammaggas, Little Namaqualand, July 1904, closely 
resembling H. lanata Purc. (Trans. S. Afr. Phil. Soc, Vol. XI, p. 373, 1902) from Clanwilliam Division, Cape 
Colony, but differing slightly in the strueture of the eyes. As this character is variable it is difficult to deeide 
whether this $ belongs to this species or not. 
b) 1 juv. from Lüderitz Bay (Angra Pequena), Great Namaqualand (January 1904), too immature to 
describe. 
Genus Harpactira Auss. 
Harpactira namaquensis Purc. 
1902, Purcbll, Trans. S. Afr. Phil. Soc, Vol. XI, p. 324. 
This species has already been recorded from Steinkopf, Kraaifontein, Ookiep and Concordia in 
Little Namaqualand and from Touws River in Worcester Division (Cape Colony) (Trans. S. Afr. Phil. Soc, 
Vol. XI, p. 324 — 325, 1902). Dr. Schultze found the following specimens: 
a) I d, 3 ?? and 18 juv. from Kamaggas, Little Namaqualand, July 1904. 
b) I ? and 8 juv. from Steinkopf, Little Namaqualand, July (?) and August 1904. 
c) I d, 1 ? and 3 juv. from Kubub, Great Namaqualand, March and April 1904. These 
specimens do not appear to differ structurally from the typical form from Little Namaqualand, but the 
colouration is somewhat different, the coat of shorter hairs on the limbs and cephalothorax being blackish- 
olivaceous, the longer pallid hairs of the latter, however, forming the usual pale radiating stripes and pale 
foxy-reddish marginal fringe. 
d) 2 juv. from Lüderitz Bay (Angra Pequena), Great Namaqualand, January and February 1904. 
e) 1 juv. (no. 132) from Prince of Wales Bay, Great Namaqualand.
