metatarsus of the first has two pairs of inferior, and two pairs 
of lateral spines. On the third and fourth legs the spines are 
numerous hut irregular. The palpi are yellow with white 
hairs. The under surface of the body is pale yellow with a 
dark central streak on the venter, and brownish mouth-parts. 
We have two females from Durban. 
Viciria flaw ipes sp. nov. 
Plate XXVI, fig. 7. 
This is a yellow species with a red V on the cephalic plate 
and pink iridescent scales on the abdomen. 
$. Length 8.2 mm. Legs 3142, nearly equal in thickness. 
There are white hairs on the cephalic plate which contrast 
with a red V which has its apex between the middle eyes of 
the first row 7 , and a red band on each side, passing from between 
the lateral and middle eyes back around the small eye of the 
second row, and below it on to the side. There is also a small 
red spot in front of each dorsal eye. The sides and thoracic 
part seem to have been covered with white hairs. The abdo¬ 
men has a white band across the front end, and behind this 
a transverse band of pink iridescent scales. From this a 
median band of light brown metallic scales, growing darker 
as it goes backward, and edged with wdiite in the posterior 
part, passes to the spinnerets. On either side are alternate 
bands of white hairs and light brown metallic scales. The cly- 
peus is covered with white hairs. The legs are yellow with 
dark punctate dots and brown spines. On the tibia of the first 
are inferior and lateral spines, the former being sometimes 
slightly irregular, and sometimes arranged in three pairs. The 
tibia of the second has three on the posterior and two on the 
anterior side, with lateral spines. The metatarsi of the first 
and second have two pairs. The palpi are white, the falces 
yellow 7 . The under surface is yellow 7 with a broad sooty-black 
band throughout the length of the venter. Flavipes resembles 
morigera but the double spines of that species serve to distin¬ 
guish it. 
We have females from Durban and Willowmore.
