This species should perhaps be regarded as a variety of crassimanus. 
Our largest specimen, from Ntolas, has the following dimensions : Total 
length 65, length of tail 30, of carapace 8*6, greatest length of humerus 
measured superiorly 6-3, length of movable finger 8, of hand-back 6*8, breadth 
of hand 7-6. 
Examples from Natal are considerably smaller. 
The vesicle is not so much swollen as is usually the case in crassimanus. 
The super oanterior crest of the humerus is very prominent and well devel- 
oped in our large specimen from Ntolas ; it is not so prominent in smaller 
examples.

Distribution : Prof. Kraepelin originally recorded this species from 
Grerman South West Africa but has not included it in his recent lists of the 
fauna of that region (12). We have what appears to be the same species 
from Paradoxus near Whittlesea (Miss S. Chinn). 
The British Museum possesses a specimen belonging to the original type 
series from which it would appear that Prof. Kraepelin's description in Das 
Tierreich is not quite correct; the sides of the fifth caudal segment are 
weakly granular, but the vesicle is quite without granules. Prof. Kraepelin 
has also informed me that in his specimens the vesicle is obsoletely punctate 
and smooth. 
The hands and brachium are almost quite smooth above, the ridges being 
obsolete ; the granules on the upper surface of the humerus are fine. In our 
largest specimen from Paradoxus, a female, there are 6 pectinal teeth but in 
other examples there are only 5. 
The measurements are as follows : Total length 73, length of tail 31, of 
carapace 9*5, of movable finger 8*5, of hand-back 7*9, of humerus measured 
superiorly 7, breadth of hand 7. Compared with crassimanus ot anthracinus, 
the pedipalps of this species are appreciably elongated and the hand 
narrowed. The vesicle is less swollen than that of crassimanus.

1892. 
Distribution : Type from the Murchison Range, and known to me also 
from Hectorspruit, Woodbush, Shilowane, Newington, White Eiver, Wak- 
kerstroom (Transvaal Mus. Coll.), East Zululand, Entendweni, Zululand 
(Natal Mus. Coll. , Paulpietersburg and Ngxwala Hill, Zululand (Durban 
Museum). 
The humerus crest is often represented by a single coarse granule in the 
middle of the segment. 
The frontal triangle is often weak or indistinct. 
The pectinal teeth are usually 6 or 7 but sometimes 5 or 8.
