The $ is distinguished from that of otion by the four longitudinal series of granules on the peraeon, and by the tubercles on the pleon being more longi- tudinally oval than circular. The telson is more rugged and in this respect resembles that of Z- furcifer {infra). These three species were found at slightly different sites, but in each case both sexes were found in association; otherwise the correlation of the sexes would have been difficult if not impossible. Zuzara furcifer Brnrd. Fig. 3i- 1920. Barnard, Ann. S. Afr. Mus., xvii, p. 361, pi. 15, figs. 26, 27 (<£). Adult o*. On 6th peraeon there is a feeble tubercle about midway between the median line and the side-plate. This was overlooked in the original description and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
