Hah. Natal: Howick {Gregoe, Brit. Mus.). Transvaal: 

 Pretoria [JJistant) ; Johannesburg (Ross). 



The British Museum possesses a long series of this species 

 from Howick, Natal, whence Kirkaldy's type is recorded, 

 and I have also a considerable number of specimens from 

 the Transvanl. They are all moderately uniform in markings 

 and coloration, and the iigure given by Kirkaldy appears 

 to be mucli too highly coloured. 



1 found this the most abundant species in the Transvaal^ 

 frequenting grasses, and readily obtained by sweeping.
