the West-African form, E. bayonianna. The British Museum 

 also has the same form from Mashonaland and, as I have 

 recently recorded, from the Transvaal and Natal. It appears 

 highly probable therefore that the specimens from Inhambane, 

 in Gasaland, identified by Pavesi * and Karsch f as Podo- 

 pththalma bayonianna, Br. Capello, will prove to be identical 

 with those that Simon described as E. australis.

Loc. Nyika plateau, 6000 feet (A. Whyte). 



This species was originally recorded from Johanna, an 

 island of the Comoro group. Its occurrence in East Africa is 

 therefore of great interest. It closely resembles P. striata,
