The type is from Herbert, Cape Province, 15. vy. 1917; 
. two more males are from the same locality ; four males (one 
immature) and three females from Spitzkop, Berkley West, 
Cape Province, 15. xii. 1917. 
This species, like many other Pyrgomorphine, occurs in 
two chief colour-forms—one green (as the male type) and 
another more or less brownish ochraceous (as the described 
female paratype), which do not differ from each other mor- 
phologically. The size is also rather variable, as may be 
seen from the dimensions given above.

a little broader and the elytra a little shorter, and the series 
of punctures finer and more obsolete. 
Head subquadrate, a little broader than the thorax, the 
sculpture consisting of larger and smaller punctures by no 
means closely placed and still more sparing on the disc.
