40. Catochrtsops caefrari.?;, Trimen. 



d 2 , ^"igiiJya, 5800 feet, Ulundi, Natal, 17tb September, 1896. 



" This scarce species has never been taken in Natal before. We 

 found it fairly numerons along a particular steep slope on the 

 N. side of Niginya, but it flew very quickly, and owing to the 

 steepness of the hill-side was very hard to take except when feeding. 

 A large percentage of the specimens were much damaged, chiefly 

 in the bind wings, by the attacks of hawk-flies (Asilida'). I took 

 many eggs and several larvae, but failed to rear any of them.''
