1034 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
Previous REcorps. Originally described from Procavia capensis natalensis, 
Mtabamhlopi, Natal, “along with specimens of 7. lindfieldi Hill and 7. serrati- 
cus Hill.” 
Marertat Examinep. Numerous males and females from Procavia adolfi- 
friederict, Lulenga, BEuGran Coneo, March 2, 1927 (J. Bequaert); two males 
from Heterohyrax brucei bakeri, Nimule, Uaanpa; a male and a female from 
Procavia capensis without indication of locality; the two last records being 
from the United States National Museum. 
Nortrs. This determination is dubious. In the original description of 7. 
sternatus it is compared with 7’. lindfieldi Hill. But, as already shown, 1’. lind- 
fieldi was based upon the male of one species and the female of another, an error 
not detected by Bedford. In the material at hand, males having genitalia which 
agree with the figure given by Bedford for the male of 7. sternatus seem certainly 
to belong with females that are apparently the same as the supposed female of 
T. lindfieldi. 
On the other hand, in the same paper Bedford described as new a 7’. emar- 
ginatus and as far as his figures and description are concerned the specimens at 
hand might equally well be referred to this. I have referred them to 7. sternatus 
as it is figured in somewhat more detail and has page precedence. 
The accompanying figures will aid in placing the species. The genitalia of 
the male (Fig. 22A) are of a distinctive type, the pseudopenis — or what is 
apparently the pseudopenis — being represented only by the bases of its arms; 
preputial sac without large teeth. The gonapods of the female (Fig. 22B) are 
simple. There is no evident internal sac associated with the uterus, such as 
appears in the females of some other species. The antennae of both male and 
female are apparently but three-segmented in both sexes. 
The specimens at hand agree closely in structure, but vary greatly in size. 
The specimens from Lulenga are about 1.5 mm. long. The two specimens from 
Procavia capensis are larger, reaching 1.8, while those of Heterohyrax brucei are 
smaller, reaching but 1 mm.

1928. Trichodectes emarginatus Bedford, Report Director Veterinary Education and Research, 
Union of South Africa 13-14 : 845; pl. 2, f. 5. 
Previous Recorps. Originally described from a single male from Hetero- 
hyrax ruddi, Zoutpansberg district, Northern Transvaal. 
Nores. As indicated above, it is not apparent from the literature why this 
species is distinct from 7’. sternatus Bedford.

MatTerIAL EXAMINED. Holotype, a male, and allotype and several paratypes 
from Procavia adolfi-friederici, Lulenga, BrLetan Coneo, March 2, 1927 (J. 
Bequaert), and two similar females from Dendrohyrax validus, Mt. Kilimanjaro
