was obtained in Cape Colony, and Macquart's misleading statement 

 that the type of the species was " De 1'Oceanie, cap des Aiguilles,"

Of this species, which, like the foregoing, occurs in Cape Colony, 

 the Museum possesses four specimens one male (locality unknown) 

 and three females : of the latter, one specimen was obtained in 

 " South Africa," before 1844 (Dr. Andrew Smith) ; another, which 

 bears no more precise indication of its origin than the word 

 " Africa," was acquired by purchase in January, 1846 (ex Colonel 

 Whitehill's Collection) ; and the third was taken at Deelfontein, 

 Cape Colony, on December 20th, 1902 (presented by Colonel A. T. 

 Sloggett, C.M.G., B.A.M.C.).
