The locality cited by Kraepelin is Delagoa Bay. The species is known to 
me from Barberton (Transvaal Mus.). 
In Barberton specimens, the flagellum has a spiral twist, but the spiral is 
not an open one, and the curves not so pronounced as represented in Kraepelin’s 
figure in Das Tierreich. The serrated edge is not continued over the whole 
length of the shaft, but commences slightly posterior to the hind margin of 
the basal enlargement. Basal enlargement short, with curved upper margin. 
On the upper surface of the chelicera there are a few long slender spines and stiff 
bristles, but the development of stout spines is not nearly so pronounced as in 
spivalicovnis , and true spines do not occur on the outer surface of the chelicera.

The splendid colouration of this species — head-plate, palps, legs and sides 
of abdomen clothed with bright, golden yellow hairs, tergites black — serves 
to distinguish the female from those of related species. The margins of the 
malleoli are broadly infuscated but not deeply so. The measurements of the 
female are as follows: breadth of head-plate 10*7, length of tibia and tarsus 
of palp 10, of patella of fourth leg 9, of tibia of fourth leg 7-8.

The type was recorded from Grahamstown, but there are no specimens in 
the Albany Museum from the Grahamstown 
neighbourhood. I have previously recorded 
it from Kimberley, from the neighbourhood 
of Johannesburg, and from several localities 
in the Pretoria district. It is also known to 
me from Rooispruit near Rosmead (A. Gib- 
bons) ; Tafelberg (Miss A. Gadd) ; Damplaats 
near Burghersdorp (A. Kruger) ; Vryburg, 
Warrendaleand Kuruman (Kimberley Mus.) ; 
Modder Riv. (F. A. O. Pym) and Bulawayo 
(Miss L. Leppan). 
In the male, there may be either five or 
four teeth in the single series of the upper 
jaw: in the former case the third tooth is 
minute. The terminal fang is rather long, 
curved slightly outwards towards the apex, 
and a little downwards at the apex : on the 
inner edge superiorly is a small sharp-pointed 
forwardly projecting tooth, situated much nearer to the flagellum than to
