 record the names of three species from that region. ] now 

 enumerate thirteen species : — 



Pcecilopsaltria furva, sp. n. Waterberg. 



reducta, Walk, liustenburg, Waterberg.

For the Barberton specimens I am aj^ain indebted to 

 Dr. Percy Rendall during his slay in that district. 



At Delagoa Bay I acquired Pcecilopsaltria reducta. Walk., 

 and P. polydorus, Walk. The scarce and handsome Melam- 

 psalta violacea, Linn., 1 find is to be procured on the banks 

 of the Caledon River in Cape Colony. Pcecilopsaltria Perin- 

 gueyi, which I originally described from Damara Land, is to 

 be found as far south and east as Griqualand at least, for I 

 now possess a specimen from Barkly West.
