Legs. The forecoxa bears about 15 bristles. The hindcoxa is 
rather narrow, being in the </ half as long again as it is wide and 
bearing a comb of 7 to 9 spines. The sinus of the hindcoxa (PI. II, 
fig. 15) is extremely shallow. Both the mid- and hindcoxae bear 
posteriorly 2 subapical bristles. The midfemur has exteriorly 1 or 2 
subapical bristles and on the inner side a sub ventral row of 4, the 
numbers being on the hindfemur (PI. II, fig. 6) 1 or 2 and 6 respectively. 
The hindtibia bears a lateral row of 4 to 6 bristles. The long apical 
bristles of this tibia are stout in the $, the ventral one extending to 
the apex of the first hindtarsal segment, while the dorsal one hardly 
reaches the subapical notch of this segment, both bristles being more 
slender and longer in the </. The longest apical bristle of the second 
hindtarsal segment in the </ reaches almost to the apex of the fifth 
segment, while in the $ it extends beyond the middle of the segment. 
The first hindtarsal segment has no bristles on the external surface, 
other than the bristles which are placed at the edges. The fifth 
hindtarsal segment is as long as the second midtarsal segment. In the 
fore- and midtarsi the fifth segment bears in the <£ 4 short stout 
ventral apical bristles, 3 being placed at the apical edge and 1 proximally 
to them; no other species of the present group has 4 such bristles. In 
the hindtarsus of the </ and in all tarsi of the $ the fifth segment has 
2 such bristles only, one being short and the other long. 
Modified segments. J 1 . There are 3 ventral bristles on each 
side of the eighth sternite, besides a very few minute hairs. The 
clasper (PI. V, fig. 2) bears a long slender free process which has several 
long bristles at and near the apex, besides several smaller ones. A 
second process is conical, while a third is broad and short, being excavate 
on its upper surface. The ninth sternite (ix. st.) has a few minute 
hairs at the tip and one longer one proximally to the apex.— $. The 
eighth tergite (PI. VII, fig. 5) has an apical row of usually 6, sometimes 
7 or 8, bristles and on the lateral surface 2 more bristles; on the inner 
side there is an apical row of 4 bristles and 1 or 2 minute hairs. The 
anal sternite is obliquely truncate. The stylet is more than twice as 
long as it is broad. 
Length. 1'6 mm., $ 2 2 mm. 
We have a series of this species from Deelfontein, Cape Colony, 
collected by C. H. B. Grant, as follows: Zorilla striata, August 1902; 
Suricata tetradactyla, April 1902 ; Xerus capensis, April 1902.
