Mantidas/rom the Transvaal. 351 



Three otlier specimens (1 (^, 2 ? ) collected by Rev. W. H. 

 Heale in Zululand are in the Natural History Museum and 

 have been used in drawing up tlie above description. 



Thespis sulcatifrons, Serv., and Mantis {Photind) agrionina^ 

 Gerst., are probably allied to this species. 



I do not know the type of Solygia, and refer the present 

 species to that genus with some doubt. S. (?) Distanti con- 

 siderably resembles the figure of Stenopyga extera, Karsch, and 

 may belong to the same genus.
