water. With the exception of a single example from the Transvaal from Mr. T. I 
Ayres in 1879, the insect had not again been received by me until February 
1888, when four fine ^ s arrived from Mr. J. M. Hutchinson of Estcourt, Natal. 
These specimens were taken on Table Mountain, Ulundi, in Weenen County, 
at a height of 6000 feet ; and Mr. Hutchinson wrote that he took thirty 
examples, and could have easily taken many more without moving from one 
place, as they flew low and were easily captured. Only a single $ has reached 
me, accompanying five ^ a from the Amatola station.
