The adult female is considerably smaller than that of typical schreineri 
(Ann. S. Af. Mus., Ill, p. 25), but otherwise seems to agree closely there- 
with. The length of the ocular area is a trifle less than one-third of the 
distance from the anterior margin of the carapace to the fovea : the 
posterior margins of the posterior row of eyes are in a distinctly procurved 
line, the distance between the posterior medians being nearly twice as great 
as the distance between a posterior median and posterior lateral : it may 
be noted that typical schreineri in the different parts of the Cape Province 
varies considerably m its ocular characters, especially in the arrangement 
of the eyes of the posterior row. The patch of spinules on the ventral 
surface of coxa III extends only about § of the length of the segment, 
the distal fourth of the segment at any rate being entirely free of spinules. 
On the anterior surface of patella III there are about 20 spines, including 
those on the distal edge (but only 9-10 in the Bon Accord specimen). 
Length of carapace 5*9 ; breadth of same 4*75. 
A New Mucldeneuk specimen is somewhat larger, the carapace 
measuring 6 '4 X 4*75. 
Male. 
Chelicerae with 5 teeth in the inner row and 2 basal teeth externally. 
Palp. — Tibia about twice as long as deep, the excavation armed with 
a continuous strip of short spines, about 18 altogether, mostly in a single 
row except at each end. Tarsus with a pair of rather long and weak 
spines dorsally. 
Legs. — Ventral surface of coxa III with a patch of sharp, rather weak 
spinules in its basal half posteriorly ; II without distinct spinules, but 
with a patch of somewhat scattered spinuliform setae in a similar situation. 
Tibia I greatly swollen, considerably shorter than metatarsus I, the under 
surface with 6 spines on the outer side. Metatarsus I with a distinct bend 
at a point about J of its length distant from the apex, interiorly with about 
6 spines on the outer side distributed over the whole length of the segment, 
but on the inner side there are only 4 spines and they are confined to the 
apical third. Tarsus I with 2 internal and 1 external spines. All the tarsi 
are scopulate, but I only very weakly so ; IV without spiniform setae 
in the scopula. 
Patella IV with about 10 spinules anteriorly, extending over the 
basal half of the segment ; III with about 14 spinules on its anterior side, 
including those on the distal edge, but none on the dorsal surface. 
Anterior tarsal claws carrying a comb of 5 or 6 teeth. 
Ocular area. — Anterior median eyes very much larger than the frontals, 
which are about J- of a diameter apart. Hind margins of posterior row 
in a rather strongly procurved line, the medians being about 3 diameters 
apart and about 1J-1J diameters distant from the posterior laterals. The 
ocular area occupies barely J of the distance from the anterior margin 
of the carapace to the fovea. 
Measurements. — Total length 8 mm., length of carapace 4, breadth 
of carapace 3 -25, length of tibia I 2-5, of metarsus I 3*25. 
The modification of the metatarsus and tibia of the first leg is a 
distinguishing feature of this species.
