2. Like M. quercina but anterior row of eyes with its front margin 
forming a procurved line. (Knysna.) 
M . intermedia , Hewitt. 
3. The lateral eyes of the anterior row not quite so large as the 
medians. (Malelane.) 
M. microps, sp. nov. 
4. Anterior row of eyes with its front margin forming a strongly 
procurved line, the laterals being very large and convex, their 
area many times larger than that of the posterior lateral eyes. 
(a 1 ) Coxa 11 with a distinct posterobasal group of shorter and more 
densely crowded ( often spiniform) setae inferiorly. 
5. Ocular area narrower, its width less than the length of meta- 
tarsus I. (Hanover, De Aar, Rooispruit, near Rosmead.) 
M. seticoxa, Pure. 
6. Ocular area broader, its width greater than the length of 
metatarsus L : width of carapace almost twice that of the 
ocular area. (TTitenhag’e Division, Alicedale.) 
* M. coegensis, Pure. 
T. Similar to coegensis but width of carapace not more than one 
and threequarter times that of the ocular area. (Ashton, 
Robertson Division.) M. nigra, Pure. 
( a 2 ) Coxa muticous inferiorly . 
8. Posteromedian and posterolateral eyes separated by a distance 
equal to twice the diameter of the latter ; anteromedians 
much nearer together than to the anterolaterals. (Matjes- 
fontein, Worcester.) M. peringueyi, E. Sim. 
9. Posteromedian and posterolateral eyes separated by a distance 
equal to about half the diameter of the latter ; distance 
between anteromedian eyes very slightly greater than that 
between anteromedians and anterolaterals. (Kraikluft, 
G.S.W.A.) M. pallida, Hewitt. 
(b) Coxa 111, only with a basal patch of spinules inferiorly . 
10. Posterior median eyes narrow elongate, the anterior laterals 
very large and convex. (Clan william or Van Rhynsdorp 
Division. M. leipoldti, Pure. 
11. Posterior median eyes broadly oval or nearly rounded, the 
anterior laterals moderately large. (Cape Peninsula.) 
M. terricola, E. Sim. 
( c ) Coxae 11 and 111 with a basal patch of spinules inferiorly . Coxa 1 
without spinules, but sometimes with a few short spinuliform 
setae. 
(c 1 ) Fovea ivithout distinct backward prolongation in the midline. 
12. Anterior median eyes less than a diameter apart and nearly 
twice a diameter or more distant from the anterior laterals 
which are very large. Patella III with a broa^d anterior band 
of spines and setiform spines above. (Montagu.) 
M. mordax, Pure. 
* T1 jis seems to be a variety of seticoxa .
