from Carnarvon (C. Hassard), Upington (E. Steyn), from Modder Eiver, 
also from several localities in the western Kalahari, and from the neighbour- 
hood of the Karas Mountains (Hewitt 19 and 22).

Distribution : Namaqualand division of Cape Province and G-reat Bush- 
manland, extending southwards as far as Robertson division, eastwards to 
Dunbrody, and northwards into Great Namaqualand and the Kalahari. We 
have it from Eooispruit near Rosmead (A. G-ibbons), Tafelberg (A. G-add), 
Hopetown (Miss Stegmann), and Kimberley (J. H. Power). See Purcell 
(17), Kraepelin (11 and 12), Pocock (8), and Hewitt (19). 
P. fidvipes, Simon, and the subspecies fuscus, Pocock, are local races of 
this species.

The type of this species was collected by Schinz, somewhere in the 
Kalahari, but the actual specimen seems to have been subsequently lost, and 
unfortunately the original description does not include the details of specific 
value. Kraepelin has redescribed what he suspects to be the same species at 
some length (11) from material collected in various parts of the Bechuana- 
land Protectorate — Lehututu, Letlake, Kgokong, Mookane, and Severelela ; 
he also records a specimen from Gibeou in Great Namaqualand.

Distribution : Type from Taungs in Bechuanalaud ; also known to me 
from Kimberley, Bothaville, Magersfontein, and Waterberg district (Hewitt 
19), from Palapye Eoad (S. Blackbeard), and from Eedbank and Hillside, 
Bulawayo (G. Arnold). 
According to Kraepelin (12) this species is a synonym of P.mosamhicensis, 
Peters, the type of which came from Tette, but until more material from 
Tette becomes available I prefer to hold over the question of the identity 
of Peters' s species : Kraepelin had previously (11) referred P. kraejoelini, 
Werner, to the synonymy oi Jlavidus, apparently in error. 
The males and females of flavidus agree closely in the character of the 
» ^ stridulatory apparatus : they differ in the shape of the hand, that of the 
female being slender and of the male stout. The total length of an adult 
male from Bulawayo is 64 mm., of adult female 55 mm, The fourth caudal 
segment is broader than the first.

This species was founded on a young example — total length 41 mm.—
