Hah. Dunbrody, Cape Colony {B.ev. O'Neil). 



Of this species I received a male and female specimen 

 from the Rev. O'Neil, taken " in cop. " ; the first-named sex 

 is smaller than the female, the under-side is stained with 

 piceous, and the last segment of the abdomen is rather 

 deeply sulcate. The species is very closely allied to Z. 

 weisci, Jac, and L. vcrficalis, Jac, but differs from both in 

 being of narrower, smaller, and more depressed shape, and 

 in the entirely flavous antennae ; the sides of the thorax in 

 L. iveisci are also more strongly constricted at the base, 

 and the disc is more convex and without any depressions.

Hal. Upper Tugela, Natal {G. Barhcr).
