Range. — Transvaal. Delarey. 
This species is closely allied to Sarc. czernyi 
Böttcher, from the Mediterranean region (Ragusa) be¬ 
longing to the group h, of Böttcher toc. cit. p. fòo 
to which the wide spread Sarc. aibiceps Mg. also be¬ 
longs. 
Dr. Villeneuve kindly communicated to me the 
following synonymy : 
aibiceps Mg. 1826. Zwfl. Ins. Bd. V. p. 22.8. — 
Germany. 
-hirtipes Wied. i 83 o. Àussereurop. Zwfl. Bd. II. 
261.13. — Egypt. 
= rufipes Wied. i 83 o. Àussereurop. Zwfl., Bd. II, 
p. 362.14. — Egypt. 
= fulvipalpis Mcq. i 843 . Dipt, éxot., vol. II. 3 e 
ptie. 98.2. — Mount Sinaï. 
Whereupon I compared two specimens from 
Egypt determined as fulvipes Mcq. with a specimen 
of aibiceps Mg. from Italy with the following result : 
The italian specimen is darker coloured than two 
from Egypt, (cf Elephantine 28.II.14 and d* Libyan 
desert, Ehrenberg coll.), especially the legs are almost 
black in the northern form and the fringe of poste¬ 
rior tibia is considerably thinner. The genital segments 
are both dark brown in the northern form, instead of 
red to orange in the egyptians. The ehaetotaxy of body 
is the same in all specimens, so that I consider fulvi- 
palpis Mcq. as a variety of aibiceps Mg., as supposed 
by Böttcher, (loc. cit. 1912. p. 730). This author 
figures (loc. cit. p. 729. Fig. 24 ) the genitalia of aibi¬ 
ceps Mg in side view and gives on the following page 
some details of hirtipes Wied., so that I confine my-
