Peimatorycter barbertoni, Hewitt. (Records Albany Museum, II, p. 430.) 
The type presents the following characters not mentioned in tho 
original description : — On the post-ventral border of coxa III there is a 
distinct patch of stiffish setae : pressed forwards, the tip of the palp 
reaches about as far as the first third of tibia I : tibia of palp elongated, 
yet not quite so much as in pretoriae (type) : 7 teeth on the fang groove : 
no denticles on the maxilla. 
The female has the following characters : — Coxa III with a well- 
marked tuft of stiff setae along its post-ventral border : chelicerae with 
7 teeth. 
Peimatorycter parvus, sp. nov. (Text fig. 6, No. 5.) 
Type. — A single adult male from Alicedale, collected in May, 1915, 
by Mr. F. Cruden. 
Three species of Peimatorycter appear to exist at Alicedale, judging 
from Mr. Cruden’s series of adult females. Two of them I have already 
described (Records Albany Museum, III, pp. 72 and 104) : the third and 
smallest species I have previously referred with some doubt to P. lateralis 
Pure., but I now believe it to be distinct. 
It is not clear from the structure of parvus to which of the three- 
feminine species it should be attached, but Mr. Cruden suspects that it 
belongs to the smallest species, as -the example was found in a locality 
where that species is known to occur and where the largest species, crudeni y 
at any rate, seems to be absent. 
Probably P. parvus will prove to be nearly related to Ancylotrypa, 
cornuta Purcell, from Hunbrody. The characters are as follows : — . 
Chelicerae with 6 teeth on the fang groove. 
Pedipalps. — Pressed forwards, the palp extends to the apex of 
patella I. Tibia short, the spine of the bulbal organ extending back 
more than half-way along the length of the segment. At the apex of the 
tibia superiorly are 1 or 2 weak spines. No denticles on the maxillae. 
Legs.- — All the metatarsi are scopulate distally below. Tarsi I and II 
without spines, III with 1 or 2 weak spines on each side near the apex,, 
IV with a row of 5 or 6 spines on the anterior side, but none posteriorly. 
Metatarsus I with 3 spines at the apex interiorly and about 6 on the lower 
surface, II with 3 at the apex interiorly and 4 or 5 on the lower surface. 
Tibia I a trifle longer than metatarsus I, with 3 spines at the apex 
interiorly, about 8 on the lower surface, comprised in two rows of which 
the outer includes 4 long spines and the inner 4 shorter and weaker ones,, 
besides which on the inner surface are 1 or 2 short spines and on the outer 
surface 2 or 3 short spines. Post-ventral border of coxa III without a 
distinct compact tuft of stiffish setae, but short scattered stiffish setae 
occur over a considerable portion of that area, as is not the case on coxa II. 
Femur IV with a rastellum at the apex superiorly, composed of short but 
strong spines. Claws of tarsus IV with about 6 teeth in each row. 
Carapace. — Only very few spines on the hind portion and sides of the- 
carapace and they are very short. Posterior lateral eyes distant from 
the anterior laterals about half the length of the former.
