miarkable ornammt in the shape of a long ridge; of stiff hairs 
down the front face. These hairs stand out stiffly, but their 
tips curve inward to meet those of the opposite; side in the mid¬ 
dle line. Their color is snowy-white on the upper half and 
deep black on the lower. The palpus is slender with long 
joints, the tibia much exceeding the tarsus. The femur and 
tarsus are dark colored, the patella and tibia, pale 1 . The legs 
are brown with darker bars. The abdomen is covered with a 
mixture of gray and brown hairs. There is a white band 
around the base, and the posterior dorsum has some indistinct 
white chevrons. 
We have six males from Algoa Bay, South Africa., sent to 
us by Dr. Brauns. 
Tusitala hirsuta P. 
Plate XXVIII, figs. 3, 3a. 
$. Length 8 mm. Legs 1234, first and second a little the 
stoutest. 
In our single specimen the cephalothorax is much darker 
than the abdomen but both are rubbed quite bare of m'arkings 
excepting some long white hairs at the front end of the abdo- 
mjen. The clypeus is as wide as the large eyes of the first row, 
and is brown with long white hairs. The falces are long and 
strongly bowed, approaching each other at the extremities. 
They have ridges of stiff hairs, as in T. barb at a, on the front 
faces., which are light brown in color and grow longer and 
thicker in the lower than in the upper half. The palpus is 
long and slender, the tibia, being much longer than the tarsus. 
The patella and tibia are much lighter in color than the femur 
and tarsus. The legs are brown, the first and second pairs be¬ 
ing darker than the third and fourth. 
We have one male from Zululand, given to us by Rev. Henry 
C. McCook.
