was obtained in Cape Colony, and Macquart's misleading Htatcincnl 

 that the type of the species was " De I'Oceanie, cap des Aiguilles," 

 is doubtless due to a confusion between Cape Agulhas,* the most 

 southerly headland in Africa, and Aiguilles Point, off the coast of 

 New Zealand.

Of this species, which, Uke the foregoing, occurs in Cape Colony, 

 the Museum possesses four specimens — one male (locality unknown) 

 and three females : of the latter, one specimen was obtained in 

 "South Africa," before 1844 {Dr. Andrew Smith) ; another, which 

 bears no more precise indication of its origin than the word 

 "Africa," was acquired by purchase in January, 1846 {ex Colonel 

 WhitehilVs Collection) ; and the third was taken at Deelfontein, 

 Cape Colony, on December 20th, 1902 {presented by Colonel A. T. 

 Sloggett, C.M.G., R.A.M.C.).
