Excerpt from Studies on Arthropoda I
Several years ago Dr. Raffaello Gestro, Director of the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova, asked me to work out the animals of the above-named orders gathered by that most excellent zoological collector Mr. Leonardo Fea, who during 1900 - 1902 spent his last years in exploring partly unhealthy countries in tropical West Africa, viz. Portuguese Guinea, Kameroon, and French Congo, and besides the islands of Fernando Poo, St. Thome, Principe, and Annobon in the Gulf of Guinea; from this voyage Fea returned quite broken down to Italy and died shortly afterwards in April 1903. With pleasure I accepted Dr. Gestro's kind offer, as I expected to find most interesting animals among the material, but the main portion of the collection, viz. the Opiliones Laniatores, I found it necessary to hand over to a colleague, and before now I could not find the time necessary for the task.
The material to be dealt with in the present paper is in reality most valuable. It consists of eleven species, but with two exceptions all are new to science. Furthermore I found it necessary to establish three new genera, and two among these are even important.
