ihave the proximal joints dark brown, and the metatarsi and 
tarsi lighter. The palpus has nearly all of the femur dark 
brown, but the very end of this joint, and the patella,, tibia, and 
tarsus, are light yellow. There are white hairs on all the j oints, 
but on. the tarsus these are found only on the outer side, while 
within, and at the end, there is a short fringe of black hairs. 
The falees are parallel and moderately long and stout, dark 
and glistening in color. The clypeus is rather wide, and slants 
backward. The first row of eyes is slightly curved, the middle 
being less than twice as large as the lateral. 
We have one female from Willowmore, Cape of Good Hope, 
sent to us by Dr. Brauns. 
We put this, and the following species, into the genus Sitta,- 
cus with some hesitation, since the inferior margin of the falx 
is armed with a conical tooth.

The cephalothorax is rather high. The cephalic part is in¬ 
clined. The thoracic is nearly level for the first half, and 
then slopes rather steeply. The sides round out rather widely 
behind. The front, eyes form a straight row, the middle being 
less than twice as large as the lateral. The second row is half 
way between the others and the third row is nearly as, wide 
as the cephalothorax at that place. The maxilla? are narrowed 
and bluntly pointed on the outer edge. The labium! is a little 
longer than wide. The tibiae of the first and second legs have 
three pairs of spines below besides laterals, and the metatarsi 
have two pairs and laterals. 
So far as can be judged from our specimens the male has 
a, dark cephalothorax with bright yellow or rufus hairs on the 
sides and around the eyes and a longitudinal band of white 
hairs down, the middle of the thoracic part. The abdomen is
