Var. simplicoides, Forel. 



Voeltzkow's Reise Ost Afrika, vol. 2, p. 86, g , 1907. 



"A form transitional to simplex, Forel, with blunt and wide epinota. 

 teeth, and with the scale oidy emarginate, barely dentate. Basutoland 

 ( VVroughton). This form proves that simplex is only a race of 

 capensis." 



Var. minuta, Forel. 

 Rev. Suisse Zool. vol. 24, p. 438, $ , 1916. 



"$. 1*5 mm. Differs from the type, apart from its very small 

 size, by its more robust build and by the short scapes, which extend 

 beyond the hind margin of the head by barely as much as their apical 

 width. It differs from var. laevis, Santschi, by its jet-black colour and 

 wider head.

Race Junodi, Forel. 

 Loc. cit., £' , p. 438. 



" $ . 2 - 5-2'8 mm. Differs from the race incisa, Forel, like which 

 it has a bispinose scale, by the legs and scapes covered with white 

 subdecumbent hairs, by the yellowish and fairly pointed hairs on the 

 body, by its much wider head, by the shorter scapes which extend 

 beyond the head by barely one-fourth of their length, and by the less 

 deep incision of the thorax. It differs from carta, Emery, by the 

 spines on the scale and by its narrower head.

^ . 2'4-2 - 8 mm. This race differs from the type of the species 

 as follows : 



The pilosity on the abdomen is much longer, finer and more 

 abundant. The meso-metanotum is slightly narrower and longer. 

 The meta- and epinotum are nitidulous and very feebly sculptured. 

 The scale of the petiole is shallowly emarginate above and without 

 teeth at each corner of the emargination. Forel says that an 

 additional distinction exists in the shape of the epinotum, in which
