and metatarsus of the fourth. Fovea crescentic : a fine median groove 
immediately posterior thereto. Anterior row of eyes with its front 
margins forming a procurved line, the lateral eyes large their area four or 
five times that of the anterior medians : posterior medians a little larger 
than the posterior laterals. Distance between the anterior medians (clear 
areas) very slightly greater than that between an anterior median and the 
anterior lateral of the same side : posterior medians and posterior laterals 
separated, from each other by a distance only about half the diameter of 
the latter in length. Width of ocular area very slightly less than length 
of the first metatarsus. 
Legs : the coxae without spinules interiorly. Metatarsus IV with 
three long spiniform setae in the apical tuft. Patella III and IV with a 
broad anterior band of spines and setiform spines. 
Labium : with fourteen teeth in the anterior part, the posterior ones 
weakest. The teeth on the coxae of the Pedipalps few, the whole strip 
including only twelve to sixteen teeth. 
Measurements : length of cephalothorax 8*3 mm., breadth 6*8 mm. 
This species is related to Moggridgea peringueyi, Simon * from 
Matjesfontein, a species known to me from Worcester (G. B. Townshend). 
The ocular arrangement differs considerably in the two species, the 
postero-median and postero-lateral eyes of M. peringueyi being separated 
by a distance equal to twice the diameter of the latter, and the antero- 
medians being much nearer together than to the antero-laterals : further, 
in that species the teeth on the labium and on the coxae of the pedipalps 
are more numerous than in M. pallida. The pale colour of the type 
specimen of this new species is probably normal as it occurs also in the 
two half-grown examples. 
Family CTENIZIDAE. 
Stasimopus , sp. 
A single immature example, too young for exact determination, was 
taken at Kraikluft (5200 ft.). 
Gorgyrella namaquensis , Pure. ? sp. 
An immature example, in poor condition, probably referable to this 
species was taken in sandy soil at the foot of the hills at Narudas Sud. 
Order SOLIFUGAE. 
Family SOLPUGIDAE. 
Solpuga ornithorhyncha, sp. nov. (text fig. 17). 
Types in the Transvaal Museum : four $ examples, No. 33 from 
Kraikluft, Nos. 31 and 32 from between Kraikluft and Sandmund, and 
No. 36 from Narudas Siid. 
Colour. Headplate, mandibles and legs yellowish brown : tarsus and 
metatarsus of pedipalps, and distal two-thirds of the fourth leg dark 
brown : abdominal tergites reddish brown in the middle, becoming larker 
in the posterior segments: a thin blackish dorsolateral band: lateral 
surfaces yellow. Malleoli with infuscated edges.
