Other characters as in the female. 
Length ?$ 6- 7 1 /, mm, 66 5V4— 57* mm. 
b) 1 J and 15 juv. from Port Nolloth, Namaqualand Division, Cape Colony, April 1905. Colour 
blacker, as in M. fuliginea Purc. Apparently specifically identical with the specimens from Possession 
Island, but in the absence of the female it is not possible to be certain.
