 Maclear (Miss F. Ross) : the most eastern record known. 

 Apparently it may occur in the same locality as its near ally, 

 E. cap en sis, for the late Mr. P. D. Morris sent me both 

 species from Victoria West, where cap en sis is common.

 Mariannhill (Fr. P. Boneberg) : the first record of this 

 species from Natal. 



I. longipes .Brt^t/.^ seems tomeonlya variety of capensis, 

 and in all probability the two forms will be found to merge 

 completely. According to Mr. Boulenger's key, longipes may 

 be distinguished by the greater length of the hind-limb, which, 

 when adpressed to the body, reaches as far as the ear or beyond; 

 this seems to hold good for the males; but in female examples 

 from Marandellas, which is near the type locality of longipes, 

 the adpressed hind-limb only reaches to the axil. In any case 

 the name longipes, even as a variety, is probably inadmis- 

 sible, seeing that this form was apparently the one described 

 by Peters- under the name of I. macrolepidota. It is 

 clearly stated in the description that the claw of the fourtli 

 toe reaches up to the ear opening. In the British Museum 

 Catalogue, macrolepidota was reduced to a synonym of 

 capensis,
