1. VEBECUNDA Tosq. 



This, the type of the genus, was described by Tosquinet (Mem. 

 Soc. Ent. Belg. v. 1896, p. 101) from the Cape; it appears to be 

 not uncommon, and I have already recorded it from Natal, 

 Rhodesia, British East Africa, Uganda, and Nyasaland. Addi- 

 tional material is from Mlanje in Nyasaland at 2300 feet on 

 September 5, 1913, and the valley of the Kola River, near 

 E. Mount, Chiperone, in Portuguese East Africa, at 1500 to 

 2000 feet on 3rd April, 1913.
