105 
and slender, the femora swollen only very close to their base, 
sparsely clothed with long hairs, those on the tibiae about twice 
as long as the thickness of the tibiae. 
One female, Bothaville, Orange Free State, October 12, 1898 
(Dr. Hans. Brauns). 
This species is noticeable on account of its pilose body, resembl- 
ing in this respect G. cilipes Kiefrer from Paraguay.
