The Museum possesses also examples from the Nabardi Mines (Sudan), from the White Nile, and from a number of places in Egypt. Remarks.—A large male specimen (in spirit) collected by Capt. Flower at Wady Haifa differs from all others of this species, which I have seen, in having the spinal armature of the tarsi of both the legs of the third pair | 2 + 2 + 2 | 2 | instead of | 1 + 2 + 2 | 2 | . The armature of the legs of the second pair is, as usual, | l + 2-t-2 | 2 | . In all other details both of colour and structure this specimen agrees with some quite typical specimens of G. arabs from the same locality. The young example from Shendy, Sudan, which was deter- mined by Dr. Tullgren* as G. araneoides, Pallas, is, perhaps, only an aberration of G. arabs, similar to this one from Wady Haifa.
