Mantidge/rom the Transvaal. 351 



Three other specimens (1 c?, 2 ? ) collected by Rev. W. H. 

 Heale in Zululand are in the Natural History Museum and 

 have been used in drawing up the above description. 



Thespis sulcatifrons, Serv., and Mantis {Photina) 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 Slenopyga extern, Karsch, and 

 may belong to tiie same genus.
