The few cases I have noted of irregularity are the following :— 
Neglecta shows some instability in the direction of brevicollis in some 
parts of its range, and varies much in size even amongst specimens 
collected in the same district. Nine examples from the Umvuma 
River, Rhodesia, are all more transverse than usual; three (one male 
two females) are of normal size and six males are veritable dwarfs and 
in all these the labrum is as short as in brevicollis. The supra-orbital 
striation is a little finer and one of the number, a male, has the median 
ramus of the pattern given off more rectangularly from the margin 
than usual. <A single male form from Bembesi River above Bulawayo 
(unfortunately the only example I have received from that locality) in 
markings, shape and size is a typical neglecta, as described by Dejean, 
who makes no reference to the presence or absence of supra-orbital 
striation. In this insect it is totally absent, which differentiates it 
entirely from neglecta as I have defined it in this paper. 
What appears to be a pauperised and very narrowly patterned 
clathrata (a single example unfortunately), labelled Weenen, Natal 
(Haviland), which I received with several neglecta, points to the 
possibility of a modified form of this insect having penetrated to the 
eastward of the Drakensberg.
