The locality of the type is unknown. In both upper and lower jaw there is 
an exceptionally strong development of feather bristles. The fang of the lower 
jaw is short, the distance from the tip to the apex of the first tooth being about 
equal to i| times the distance between the apices of the two large teeth.

The type came from Clan william: other specimens were recorded by 
Purcell from Stein kopf in Namaqualand, and females apparently referable to 
this species from Van Wyk’s Vlei and from Namies in Bushmanland.

The type came from Keetmanshoop. It is also known to me from the 
neighbourhood of Kuruman (F. A. O. Pym) and Mt Temple (T. C. Lanham). 
In the Kuruman specimens, the flagellum, and with it the terminal fang 
of the upper jaw, is twisted outwards away from the main axis of the jaw. 
The basal enlargement is high and swollen. There are long stridulatory ridges 
on the chelicerae. The upper surfaces of the chelicerae bear long stout bristles 
but no definite spines. The fang of the lower jaw is short, the distance from 
the tip to the apex of the first tooth being about 1^ times as long as the 
distance between the apices of the two large teeth.
