Habitat. — Ereinias lineo-ocellata, in the wide sense, ranges from 

 Diimaralaud to Little Xamaqualand, the Northern and Eastern 

 districts of Cape Colony, the Orange River Colony, and the Transvaal.

 be well understood without a larger series of specimens, from much 

 more numerous localities, than has been available to me. As hinted 

 above, I am inclined to think the division into Forma tyi_nca and var. 

 jiiilchella will have to be dropped.
