The type is from Pretoria, iv. 1921 (/. C. Faure). A 

 cotypic male in the Oxford collection, labelled by I. Bolivar 

 as a cotype of Ph. vittata^ I. Bob (undescribed), is from 

 Salisbury, Mashonaland, 5000 ft., 1899 (G. A. K. Marshall) ; 

 it agrees with the type in all characters, but is in less good 

 condition, which caused me to draw up the description from 

 another specimen.
