Pedi palps as in S. tentoriicola Purc, except that the hairs on the two distal Segments are infuscated 
and those on the remaining proximal segments white. 
Length of ?? about 10 mm, of S6 5 3 A — 63 A mm - 
This species is very near S. tentoriicola Purc, but in the latter the vulva of the ? is slightly different 
and the anterior legs of the S are longer and minutely spinulose on the tibia below. Moreover S. deserticola 
is evidently gregarious, judging from the number of specimens" collected, whereas S. tentoriicola is solitary 
in its habits.

1898, Pocock, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 7, Vol. II, p. 201, pl. 8, fig. 7; also P.Z.S., 1902, Vol. II, p. 144. (From 
Estcourt in Natal and Vredefort Road in Orange River Colony.) 
Specimens. 209 immature examples from the Cape Fiats, Cape Peninsula, Cape Colony, 
September 1904; also 4 others from the same locality but from another nest. As none of these specimens 
are mature their identification cannot be considered certain.

Specimens. 30 immature examples from Severelela, Kalahari (north-west of Lobatsi), Bechuana- 
land Protectorate , October 1904, having the same peculiar colour-markings and ocular characters as 
S. gregarius, very probably belong to this species, which is widely distributed from Natal to Rhodesia. 
The following specimens of Stcgodyphus could not be identified at all : 
a) 19 juv. from Lobatsi in Bechuanaland, October 1904. 
b) I juv. from Kooa, Kalahari, Bechuanaland Protectorate, November 1904.

The adult ?? vary much in size, Dr. Schultze's specimens from the same locality measuring from 
10 — 15 mm in length.
