are brownish., in the others, white. The first leg is. black ex¬ 
cepting a brownish spot in the middle of the tibia, and the 
proximal half of the metatarsus, which is white. Tin all the 
other legs the proximal half of the femur, a spot in the middle 
of the tibia, and the metatarsus and tarsus are white, the other 
parts being black. 
We have one male from Gazaland, Mashonaland, sent to us 
by Mr. Marshall. 
Parajotus gen. nov. 
Plate XXII, figs. 2-2d. 
The cephalothorax is rather high and convex, the highest 
point being a rounded elevation in front of the dorsal eyes. 
From this point it falls, in a very long slope, to near the pos¬ 
terior end, the upper surface being narrowed behind to form 
a horse-shoe shaped plate from which the thorax slopes on the 
sides and behind. The cephalic part is also inclined forward. 
The sides are a little contracted in front and behind, the wid¬ 
est point being behind the dorsal eyes. It is but little wider 
below than above. The quadrangle of the eyes is one-third 
wider than long, is wider behind than in front, and occupies 
two-fifths of the cephalothorax. The front eyes are all large, 
and form a straight row in wliich the middle eyes are close to¬ 
gether and plainly less than twice as large as the lateral, which 
are a little separated from them. The second row is halfway 
between the other two. The dorsal eyes are as large as the lat¬ 
eral and form! a row which is nearly as wide as the cephalo¬ 
thorax. The males, as in Tusitala, have ridges of long, stiff 
hairs on the front of the falces. There are both inferior and 
lateral spines on all the legs, the tibiae of the first and second 
having three pairs below, and the metatarsi two pairs, besides 
lateral spines. The sternum is oval. The coxae are separated 
by fully the width of the labium 1 , which is a little longer than 
wide. 
Parajotus resembles Jotus and the allied genera but differs 
in having the quadrangle of the eyes plainly wider behind than 
in frcnt.
