therefrom, being situated slightty in front of the anterior bend of the 
flagellum: flagellum long, reaching back well beyond the hind margin 
of the head-plate, not expanded into a pear-shaped enlargement at the 
base. Tibiae II and III with three short stout dorsal spines. 
C. pictulum Pocock. 
C. The single series of teeth in the upper jaw comprising two teeth, 
both rather large, not appreciably separated from each other. Flagellum 
long and slender. 
1. Flagellum with a pear-shaped enlargement near the anterior bend, its 
apex reaching almost to the hind margin of the head-plate: tibiae II and III 
with thiee short stout spines dorsally. C. sclaieri Purcell. 
2. Flagellum strongly compressed laterally at the anterior bend, but at 
the basal end it is scarcely enlarged, its apex reaching to the hind margin of 
the ocular tubercle: tibiae II and III with several strong bristles dorsally. 
C. inerme Purcell. 
Genus Lipophaga Purcell. 
Lipophaga trispinosa Purcell, 1903. Annals S. Af. Mus. in. p. 11, fig. 8. 
The type came from Stompneus and Soldatenpost at St Helena Bay, C.P. 
Lipophaga schultzei Kraepelin, 1908. Denh. med. nat. Gesell. Jena, xm. p. 280, 
figs. 9-10. 
This was originally described as the type of a distinct genus, Pseudoblossia 
Krpln., since recognised by its author as identical with Lipophaga. 
The types came from Kamaggas in Little Narnaqualand. 
Lipophaga michaelseni Kraepelin, 1914. Beit. z. Kennt. d. Land- und Siiss- 
wasserfauna Deutsch-Sudwestafrikas, Skorpiones und Solifugae, p. 132, 
fig. 4. 
The type came from Luderitzbucht . A female from Okahandj a was described 
at the same time, and referred with some doubt to this species. 
Key to the species of Lipophaga Purcell. 
1. The single dental series of upper jaw with six teeth, the third and 
sixth being largest, the first of moderate size. Terminal fang of upper 
jaw much shorter than that of lower jaw. L. trispinosa Purcell. 
2. Similar to trispinosa , but first tooth of upper jaw very much 
larger than the third, being in fact the largest of the series. 
L. michaelseni Kraepelin. 
3. Terminal fang of upper jaw as long as that of the lower jaw. 
L. schultzei Kraepelin. 
In Kraepelin’s definition of the genus Pseudoblossia, the tarsus of the 
fourth leg is said to be at least six times as long as deep, and the first leg without 
tarsal claws: the chelicerae have stridulatory ridges reaching almost up to the 
middle of the inner surface, the male with about 16 such ridges. Purcell’s 
definition of Lipophaga includes : tarsus I with a pair of minute claws : 
chelicerae with a series of very short ridges at the anterior edge of the large 
smooth area.
