TOXOPHORA MACULATA, Rossi (1790). 



A male from Van Wyk's Vlei, Cape Colony, 1875, is tlie first authentic 

 specimen which I have seen from Africa of this Mediterranean species, 

 had been already recorded from the Cape by Loew. 



TOXOPHORA PUNCTIPENNIS, Be/./.i. 



Closely allied to the preceding species, but distinct by the absence 

 of white scales on the outer side of the antennae, and chiefly by the 

 three rounded, blackish spots on the cross-veins.
