Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum . ocesses. Abdomen reachingto midlength of coxa 2 of fourth pair of legs, slender, cylindrical, slightly swollen proximally, tubular and annulated in distal two-thirds,almost as long as trunk, curved slightly ventrally. Palps seven-segmented, THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUMS MEIRING NAUDE CRUISES 133 second segment longest, fourth segment 0,6 of second segment length. Terminalthree segments armed with ventral short setae, sixth segment twice length offifth, seventh only a tiny knob. Ocular tubercle a tall erect cone tapering to small distal bulb, without eyes. Oviger 10-segmented, typical of genus. Strigilis segments increasingly smal-ler, armed with short broad denticulate spines in formula 3:2:2:3, withterminal claw only slightly larger than spines. Legs long, slender, armed with few distal setae and long dorsodistal setalonger than segment diameter on major segments. First coxae with tall dorso-distal spur and short ventrodistal spur, third coxae with matching dorsodistal. Fig. 2. Pantopipetta armata sp. nov. Holotype, male. A. Trunk, dorsal Trunk, lateral view. C. Third leg, with enlargement of sole spine. D. Distal seg-ments of palp. E. Oviger. F. Distal segments of oviger. 134 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM spur. Cement-gland tube tapered, longer than femur diameter, placed distallyon anterolateral or posterolateral surface and extending beyond flexed first or posterior gland placement random, without apparent short, about 0,25 propodal length, both segments armed with row ofshort sole spines, few ectal setae. Claw 0,4 propodal length, auxiliary clawslacking. Femur and tibia 2 equal in length, tibia 1 slightly longer. Female. Only slightly larger than male, except for oviger which is smaller,with fewer denticulate spines. Measurements (holotype, in mm) Trunk length, 1,66; trunk width (across 2nd lateral processes), 1,3; pro-boscis le
