There are two specimens in the collection, a male without exact 
locality, and Bergroth's specimen (No. 2), a female from Cape Town. 
The specimens give the following measurements : 
Male. — Length 18'6 mm. ; wing 19-1 mm. 
Female. — Length 23'5 mm. ; wing 19'2 mm. ; fore leg of female, 
femur 8'5 mm. ; tibia 10 mm. ; middle leg, femur 10 mm. ; tibia 
10'2 mm. ; hind leg, femur 12 mm. ; tibia 14'1 mm. 
The antennae are short, light yellow, the basal enlargement of the 
llagellar segments with four black verticils. The wings are shown on 
Plate XII, fig. 28. Male hypopygium (Plate XIII, fig. 49) with the 
sclerites of the ninth segment fused into a ring, continuous except on 
the mid -ventral line of the sternite, where the edges are contiguous 
and carinate ; pleural suture short, almost straight, slightly upcurved 
at the end. Ninth tergite (Plate XIV, fig. 58) moderate in size, the 
caudal margin concave with a very broad median lobe, whose caudal 
margin is squarely truncated and bifid for a short distance by a deep 
line ; the caudal dorsal margin with numerous small black spicules ; 
a shallow semicircular depression at the base of the median lobe. 
Outer pleural appendage very broad and flat, pale, almost white, the 
apex somewhat obliquely truncated, the outer face with short, appressed 
hxirs that are most numerous at the cephalic dorsal angle of the lobe ; 
inner pleural appendage showing through the translucent outer 
appendage as figured, complex, flattened, the apex produced into 
a slender darkened tip ; a small tuft of yellowish hairs on the margin 
of the sternite just ventrad of the pleural suture.
