Middle lateral keel of fourth caudal segment obsolete : caudal segment I 
superiorly rather more deeply excavated, but the shagreened area narrower 
as compared with the width of the segment l)etween the superior keels : 
stridulatory area of caudal segment II more or less distinctly channelled, but 
the cross ridges not nearly so well developed as in the male, none of them 
even in the narrowest part of the area extending even half-way across the 
area : the excavation at the base of the vesicle superiorly not very deep : 
superior crest of caudal segment V including only about 3 fairly strong 
granules anteriorly, and the sides of the segment superiorly not coarsely 
granulated: in front of the median eyes, the carapace is granulated mesially, 
but laterally is smooth : hand stout, but only about as wide as the brachium 
measured at its anterior prominence. Total length 73-5 mm. Pectinal 
teeth 34.

Distribution: From divisions of Tulbagh and Worcester extending north- 
wards in the western districts of the Cape Province to Grreat Bushmanland 
and apparently to Great Namaqualand (Purcell). Prof . Kraepelin, however,

Cooper), from Tafelberg (Miss A. G-add), and from Eooispruit near Eosmead 
(A. Gribbons).
