. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. 162 Annals of the South African Museum. posteriorly converging blackish stripes at the sides, sternites with a pair of similar but less distinct lateral stripes ; malleoli not edged with black. Dentition very similar to that of S. erythronotoides, Hewitt (Ann. Transv. Mus., vol. vii, p. 33, text-fig. 6) ; the small keel in front of the anterior bend of the flagellum is here bluntly and not conspicu- ously terminated, but the dentition is otherwise similar to that of erythronotoides, loc. cit. Flagellum reaching to about half-way between apex of the upper. Fig. 5.—Solpuga intermedia, n. sp. jaw and the posterior margin of mandible (fig. 5) ; it is not so curved as in either erythronota or erythronotoides, the median portion being almost straight and the distal portion very slightly bent downwards and (seen from above) inwards. Measurements.—Length of upper mandible 7-5, width of headplate 5-5, length 4-2, tibia 7-1, tarsus+metatarsus 8-1, total length 29 mm. This may prove to be a variety of either S. erythronotoides or S. erythronota, though it differs from both in the longer and less curved flagellum, and also in the greater length of the lower jaw as compared with the upper. Solpuga calycicornis, n. sp. (Text-fig. 6.) 2 ^<J, 14582, Burghersdorp. Colour.—Head and appendages yellow, the latter, especially the fourth leg and palp, with the terminal segments more or less infus- I.
