A Survey of the Scorpion Fauna of South Africa. 
185 
The Kimberley Museum has specimens of the same form from Dw Toit's 
Pan Mine (W. Needham) and De Beer's Mine (Mr. Harrison). These 
specimens presumably were accidentally introduced to the Kimberley 
neighbourhood. 
Opisthacanthus validus typicus, Thorell. 
Mfongosi, Zululand (W. E. Jones). 
Opisthacanthtjs validus fulvipes, Pocock. 
Mr. S. Hirst, having examined the types of this form, informs me that 
the vesicle usually has only a single line of denticles on each side inferiorly. 
There is a fairly smooth keel on the inner side of the upper surface of the 
hand, but it is not very long. Specimens from Tayatazaneng in the British 
Museum collection seem to be referable to this form. 
Typical but unusually large specimens of ftdvipes have recently l^een 
taken at Maseru (J. Midgley), and a somewhat aberrant specimen at Leribe 
(Miss M. E. Barrett). The latter, a large adult male, is noteworthy in the 
very weak granulation of the vesicle inferiorly. Moreover, the hand, though 
flattened, is less sculptured than usual, being practically smooth over the 
greater portion of the upper surface except internally. It thus approaches 
the variety laevis. 
The sculpturing of the hand is rather a variable character \n fulvipes. 
Specimens from Memel are so extensively sculptured that scarcely any 
smooth portion remains, but usually in this variety the middle portion of 
the upper surface of the hand is smooth. 
The measurements are taken from a female found at Maseru : Length 
of carapace, 10*5 ; length of movable finger, 9-4 ; breadth of hand, 7'8 ; 
length of hand-back, 10. 
Opisthacanthus vALiDrs ALBANicus, Hewitt. 
Peddie (B. Marais). 
Cheloctonus crassimanus, Pocock. 
Craighead and Line Drift, in Peddie District (B. Marais). 
Cheloctonus jonesi, Pocock. 
Eikatla, P.E.A. (A. Junod). 
In a male example the fifth caudal segment is almost coarsely granulated 
on the sides, and there are distinct indications of a paired row of granules 
on the vesicle inferiorly. In another male specimen there is no trace of 
granules on the vesicle inferiorly. 
Hadogenes troglodytes dentatus, Hewitt. 
Two female examples from Magaliesberg, near Rustenburg, seem to be 
referable to this form.
