Massagris mirijicus sp. nov. 
Plate XIX, figs. 1, la. 
This species has the quadrangle of the eyes as long as wide. 
The cephalic plate is golden, marked with two 1 black spots. 
$. Length 4 mm. Legs, 4132, first pair a little thickest. 
The cephalothorax is moderately high, and is flattened above. 
The cephalic part has a constriction behind the first row of 
eyes from] which the sides widen out to a point just back of 
the third row. The quadrangle of the eyes is as long as wide, 
is plainly wider in front than behind, and occupies one-half 
of the cephalothorax. The front row is curved downward, 
with the eyes all close together, the middle being twice as large 
as the lateral. The second row is plainly nearer the first than 
the third, and the third is much narrower than the cephalo¬ 
thorax at that place. The falces project slightly, and are mod¬ 
erately long and stout. The clypeus is narrow. The sternum 
is long, truncated in front and pointed behind. The coxae of 
the first pair are separated by more than the width of the lar 
bium, which is as wide as long, and less than half as long as 
the maxillae. The first and second legs have a single spine on 
the tibia. The metatarsus of the first has one pair and the meta¬ 
tarsus of the second, a single spine. In M- constrictus E. S'., 
there are no spines on the tibiae of the first and second, while the 
metatarsi have one pair. 
We have a rubbed specimen. The cephalothorax is dark 
brown excepting black spots around the eyes and a reddish- 
yellow region on the cephalic plate, on which are two black 
spots. There are some pale yellow hairs on the thoracic part, 
and yellowish-white hairs on the clypeus. The abdomen is 
pale brown, with dark brown mottling on the sides, and two 
rows of white patches on the dorsumj. There is a thin cover¬ 
ing of white hairs. The palpi are dusky brown, the falces dark 
brown. The legs are light yellow, excepting the femoral joints 
which are dusky. 
We have one male from Mr. Quekett, Durban.
