Chelicerae.—Inferior margin with 2 large subequal teeth about twice their basal width from each other. Vulva as in fig. 47, occupying a large subquadrate plate and rather resembling that of S. spenceri Pocock. Legs.—Anterior tibiae with 7, anterior metatarsi with 3 pairs of inferior spines. Dimensions.—Length of carapace 5-2, total length 13-7 mm. Other Specimens.—1 S, Port St. Johns, Cape Province (, 13072).
