Plate IV. 



In a note « On a Pseudoscorpion from Congo , » lately 

 published in the « Boll. d. Musei d. Zool. ed Anat. Comp. » in 

 Torino , I expressed the hope that the knowledge of the Pseudo- 

 scorpions of tropical Africa should be enlarged in the future, and 

 this hope was to be filled long before I had expected. I received 

 indeed, only a few months later, from the Museo civico in Genova, 

 for examination , a large collection of Pseudoscorpions from We- 

 stern Africa, brought home by the late Leonardo Fea. For the 

 opportunity, given to me by the director of the Museo civico, to 

 study this beautiful lot, I am expressing here my best thanks. 

 The results of this examination are, to a high degree, widening 

 the knowledge of the distribution of these animals in this part 

 of tropical Africa, as well as of the species. The rich collection 

 contained wellnigh 300 specimens, amounting to lo species, of 

 which six had to be described as new ones. Of these new species, 

 some had a high interest, the most interesting being a form for 

 which a new genus had to be created, in many essential res23ects 

 completely different from all known Pseudoscorpions. 



In order to make the indication of localities and the time of 

 the collection, for the species, more easy, I shall give here an 

 enumeration of the places, in which the animals were taken, in 

 connexion with the altitude above the sea-level, where this is 

 indicated on the labels.
