C. parcespinatus seems to be entirely confined to the southern coastal 
districts, C. devylderi predominating in the northern districts of South Africa. 
The genus is entirely confined to South Africa, as far as it is known.

Key to the Species. 
1 . The prosternal teeth-plates at least twice as long as they are broad. 
Seventh to tenth segments of antennae are naked. Pleurae curved 
posteriorly, and do not end in a process. Femur of anal legs unarmed, 
at most a minute tuberosity at the distal extremity G. devylderi Porath 
The prosternal teeth-plates are scarcely longer than broad. Only first 
four segments of antennae are bare. Pleurae end in a blunt process 
interiorly. Femur of anal legs armed on the inside (sometimes on the 
ventral surface) with 1-3 small spines . . G. parcespinatus Porath 
Family LITHOBIIDAE Newport. 
Several specimens of Lithobiidae were found in the collection, but Scolo- 
pendridae is by far the predominating family. Only four or five representatives 
of Lithobiidae from Grahamstown (G. P. F. van Dam) are recorded. They 
agree very well with the species Henicops (New r port) africana Porath, which
