B. Only two pairs of sternal sigilla. The black process on the distal 
tubercle of tibia I is short and pointed. 
(# iv ) Metatarsus I not incrassated internally at any point, but seen from 
the side it is curved near the base. Excavation of tibia of palp with a con- 
tinuous band of short spines. Ocular area extending scarcely more than one- 
quarter of the distance from the anterior margin of the carapace to the fovea : 
frontal eyes separated, about two-fifths of a diameter apart, the frontal 
quadrangle being slightly wider behind, the frontal and antero-median eyes 
subequal in area. (Kentani.) A. spiricola Purcell. 
(6 lv ) Similar to spiricola, but ocular area a little longer, reaching almost 
one-third of the distance from the anterior margin of the carapace to the Centre 
of the fovea: frontal eyes decidedly larger than the anteromedians. (Majuba 
Nek, Herschel dist.) A. hepburni sp. nov. 
(c iv ) Metatarsus I decidedly curved and there is a slight incrassation on 
the inner side near the base, this thickened region being without spines although 
superiorly and laterally stifiish bristles extend therefrom up to near the apex 
of the segment. Excavation of tibia of palp with a more or less continuous 
band of short spines* weak in the middle. Frontal eyes very close together, 
the area formed by the frontals and anterior medians being much wider behind 
than in front. Ocular area extending about one-third of the distance from the 
anterior margin of the carapace to the fovea. Seen from above, the lateral 
and front margins of the carapace form a fairly sharp curve anteriorly, the 
anterior margin not being strongly truncated. A small form with carapace 
only 3 mm. long. (Based on two specimens collected at East London by Mr F. 
Cruden, the type of the species occurring near Grahamstown.) 
A.flaveolum Poc. (var.) 1 . 
(d iy ) Metatarsus I slightly incrassated internally near the base, the 
thickened region being beset with stiff bristles but no spines: seen from the 
side it is curved near the base. Band of short spines bordering the excavation 
of the tibia of the palp broken a little in the middle. Carapace not strongly 
truncated anteriorly. Frontal eyes very close together, the area formed by 
frontals and anterior medians being very distinctly wider behind than in 
front: ocular area a trifle longer than one-third of the distance from the 
anterior margin of the carapace to the fovea. (Alicedale.) 
A. crudeni Hewitt. 
(<2 iv ) Metatarsus I with a weak but distinct angular bend on the inner side 
at a point about one-third of its length from the base, and at a point two-thirds 
of the distance along the segment is another bend but only very slight and hardly 
noticeable except as the point of origin of a spine. Tibia I swollen but not 
greatly so. Tarsus I with three spines on the anterior side and five on the 
posterior side. Frontal eyes about one-fifth of a diameter apart, the frontal 
quadrangle being decidedly wider behind than in front. (Arnhemburg, 
Carolina dist.) A. nigropilosus sp. nov. 
1 The female closely resembles flaveolum from Grahamstown, the frontal eyes 
being very near together on a strongly raised common tubercle which projects 
forwards anteriorly and has no median cleft superiorly or only a slight one. The 
length of the ocular area is about one-third of the distance from the anterior margin 
of the carapace to the fovea, being very slightly greater than in typical flaveolum.
