Jrlab. A single male specimen was collected by Mr. S. L. Hinde at Fort Hall (4400 feet), British East Africa. Remarks. The male of P. Hindei differs from that of P. murinus, to which it is closely allied, in the much smaller size and in that the ceplialothorax equals the patella, tibia, and tarsus of the maxillipalp, whilst in murinus the cephalo- thorax considerably exceeds the patella, tibia, and tarsus of the palp in length.
