226 W. F. PüRCELL, 24 
Legs very long and slender, clothed with numerous hairs and spiniform setae (mostly rubbed off), 
fourth leg longer than the first. 
Stern um with numerous curved setae. 
Length 7 mm, length of first leg (to base of femur) 18 mm, of fourth leg 19 mm. 
b) 2 nearly mature ?$ (nos. 345 and 406) from Southern Hereroland (1 from Otjimbingwe), September 
and October 1903. In these specimens the first metatarsus is at least twice as long as the cephalothorax, 
and the body is almost entirely denuded of hairs and spines; sufncient, however, remains to show that the 
colour of the hairs was similar to that of the types. 
Genus Scytodes Latr. 
1. Scytodes broomi Poe. 
1902, Pocock, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 7, Vol. X, p. 321 (<j> from Garies in Little Namaqualand), with text-figure 
of vulva. 
Specimens. a) 1 adult ? and 1 immature speeimen from Kamaggas, Little Namaqualand, 
July 1904. Length over 10 mm. 
The female of this species would fall together with S. flagellata Purc. under section b 7 in the synoptic 
table given on p. 151 in Trans. S. Afr. Phil. Soc, Vol. XV, 1904. It differs, however, from that species 
as follows: 
Median black stripe on carapace absent (except before the eyes) S. broomi Poe. 
Median black stripe on carapace distinet S. flagellata Pukc. 
In Dr. Schultze's specimens the horny ridges of the abdomen are distinctly curved outwards at 
the anterior end and not straight as in Pocock's figure. 
b) 1 adult $ from Lüderitz Bay, Great Namaqualand, January 1904. Smaller than the typical form 
(length 7% mm) and almost unpigmented on the under surface. The length of the cephalothorax, also, is 
greater than that of the tibia of the third leg (but less than this tibia in the type). 
c) I adult ? and 3 juv. from Kubub, Great Namaqualand, March and April 1904, resembling the 
specimens from Lüderitz Bay. 
d) 2 juv. $$ from Angra Pequena, Great Namaqualand, resembling the other specimens from Great 
Namaqualand. 
2. Scytodes schultzei n. sp. 
PI. XI, Fig. 10. 
Specimens. 3 ?? and 1 juv. from Steinkopf, Little Namaqualand, July and August 1904. 
Colour almost exactly as in S. lelpoldti Purc. (Trans. S. Afr. Phil. Soc, Vol. XV, p. 143, 1904), 
except that there are only 1 —3 pairs of marginal black marks on the sternum or even none at all. In one 
speeimen, also, the medial pair of black stripes are united posteriorly with the more lateral pair on the 
highest part of the cephalothorax, but in the other specimens they end free. 
Horny plates on underside of abdomen different from those of the other species known to me, 
being very large, longitudinally oval, and bordered on the inner and anterior margins by a pair of very 
long ridges, the anterior portions of which are boldly outcurved and reach as far as the lateral ends of the 
genital opening, the posterior ends of the ridges only very slightly, if at all, outcurved (PI. XI, Fig. 10). 
Length of ?$ 5 — 6 mm.
