A Survey of the Scorpion Fauna of South Africa. 141 
4 sternites of the male often transversely wrinkled or finely roughened, 
but sometimes the first is quite smooth and succeeding sternites nearly so ; 
inferomedian keels of first caudal segment in the male always granular, 
the granules not very coarse, and between the keels there are a number of 
granules, especially anteriorly, but the whole space between the keels is not 
filled up thereby ; in the female these keels are well developed, nearly 
smooth or more or less crenulated ; terminal tooth of superior crest in third 
and fourth caudal segments not spiniform; hand of male with slightly 
convex inner surface above, its breadth much exceeding the length of the 
handback, fingers moderate, secondary keels distinct and often strongly 
developed, the upper surface covered with isolated rounded granules, usually 
coarse, but sometimes fairly fine ; hand of female very broad, convex above, 
and covered with rather large low tubercles, which are sometimes rounded 
and more or less distinct, sometimes of irregular shape and anastomosing, 
forming a more or less complete reticulation of coarse ridges ; sometimes 
the surface is only slightly convex and the tubercles so low that the surface 
is nearly smooth ; secondary keels indistinct ; the superior lobe of the fourth 
tarsus usually as long as or slightly longer than the lateral lobes ; pectines 
with 14-19 teeth in the male, the scape rectangular at the base behind, with 
10-16 teeth in the female. 
Measurements (of an adult female). — Total length 103, length of cara- 
pace 15*8, width of hand 13*6, length of handback 8*2, of movable finger 
16-5, of tail 49. 
Measurements taken from an adult male from Schurfteberg, Somerset 
East District are : Length of carapace 12*3, of humerus 10'25, of brachium 
10'25, breadth of hand 8'6, length of handback 7*25, of movable finger 
14-25. 
Colour. — Hands very dark, often with a purple tinge or almost black, 
interocular area reddish brown, remainder of carapace and tergites dark 
brown ; the tail is brown, the legs reddish brown or sometimes yellow, and 
the vesicle is yellowish brown. 
Distribution : The Albany Museum has the typical form of latimanus 
from the following localities : G-rahamstown, Highlands. Brakkloof, Fort 
Beaufort, Jansenville, G-len Lynden, Schurfteberg (Somerset East District), 
Alicedale, Redhouse, Mimosa, Alexandria, and Queenstown. The British 
Museum has specimens from Burghersdorp, Steynsburg, Baviaan Eiver 
Bedford District, Pearston, and King Williamstown. See also Dr. Purcell's 
records (15 and 17). The specimens from the Murchison Range recorded 
by Pocock (5) under the name of latimanus are undoubtedly glahrifrons, 
as suspected by Dr. Purcell. 
This form is only satisfactorily separated from pugnax by the nature 
of the granulation of the last sternite and of the inferior keels of the first 
caudal segment in the adult male. The British Museum has a small male
