 9. In the collection a male from the Cape of Good Hope, N. cap- 

 ensis Hesse. Long. corp. 13mm. ; long. al. ant. 21mm. ; al. post. 

 46 mm. 



Lnteo-fulvons ; similar to N. Africana, the head and eyes alike ; 

 antennae (not complete) 45-jointed ; maxillary palpi blackish ; 

 thorax without bands, prothorax broader in front ; abdomen more 

 brownish ; legs long ; tarsus with first joint half its length ; front 

 wings hyaline, front margin straight to pterostigma ; hind mar- 

 gin slightly curved, greatest breadth in the middle of the wing, 

 which is a little broader than one-third of the length (8mm.) ; tip 

 elliptical ; about all veins yellow ; subcostal space light yellow, 

 also around some of the costals ; twenty-four costals to a small 

 brown pterostigma, which does not reach the front margin ; the 

 cells of the wing larger than and not so numerous as in N. Africana ; 

 hind wings very narrow, more than the basal two-thirds yellow, then 

 a brown band 6mm. long, followed by milk-white ; a little enlarged 

 and longer to the pointed tip. 



I believe this to be Westwood's species ; the wider venation and 

 smaller number of costals, the brown pterostigma without darker 

 nebula separate this species from all related ones. The specimen 

 is at least eighty years old, so the color may have disappeared. 

 It was in Winthem's collection with the label N. capensis mihi 

 Hesse. 



Mr. Fred. Hesse, of Brunswick, was in the beginning of this 

 century a Lutheran pastor in Capetown (see Illig. Mag. vi, 229) 

 and the larger part of all insects from the Cape in the Helwig- 

 Hoffmansegg collection, now in the Berlin Museum, was probably 

 sent over by him.

Taken near a swamp on the road between Perth and Guildford 

 in western Australia by Governor Hutt and communicated to Mr. 

 William Spence, by whom it was named in MS. A second speci-
