  Boheman 
  records 
  this 
  species 
  from 
  Port 
  Natal, 
  but 
  although 
  the 
  

   three 
  bands 
  of 
  white 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  prothorax 
  are 
  less 
  conspicuous 
  

   (and 
  even 
  sometimes 
  nearly 
  obliterated) 
  in 
  specimens 
  from 
  that 
  

   locality 
  than 
  in 
  those 
  from 
  the 
  Transvaal 
  (Potchefstroom, 
  Lydenburg, 
  

   Zoutpansberg), 
  or 
  from 
  Southern 
  Ehodesia, 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  

   the 
  two 
  species 
  are 
  one, 
  and 
  this 
  is 
  also 
  proved 
  by 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  

   genital 
  armature 
  of 
  the 
  male.

  I 
  have 
  seen 
  one 
  example 
  of 
  this 
  interesting 
  species, 
  which 
  differs 
  

   from 
  the 
  other 
  South 
  African 
  ones 
  by 
  the 
  very 
  convex, 
  yet 
  very 
  

   sloping, 
  pygidium 
  which 
  is 
  ornamented 
  with 
  four 
  hairy 
  patches.

  Mr. 
  Arrow 
  identifies 
  as 
  P. 
  rufipcnnis, 
  Branes., 
  loc. 
  cit., 
  p. 
  91, 
  the 
  

   species 
  which 
  I 
  take 
  to 
  be 
  P. 
  magnified, 
  Hope, 
  and 
  to 
  which 
  I 
  

   doubtfully 
  referred 
  the 
  former.
