The type is from Herbert, Capo Province, 15. v. 1917 j 

 two more males are from the same locality; four males (one 

 iinmatnro) and three females from Spitzkop, Berkley West, 

 Cape Province, 15. xii. 1917. 



This species, like many other Pyrgomorphinse, occurs in 

 two chief colour-forms — one green (as, the male type) and 

 another more or less brownish ochraceous (as the described

 phologically. The size is also rather variable, as may be 

 seen from the dimensions given above.
