Portuguese East Africa, Magude, in October (Swierstra) ; also previously 
Transvaal, Barberton, in December and January (Janse), erroneously re-

stout antennae (in catharotes S only as stout as middle tibiae, and much 
slenderer than posterior tibiae), smaller size, and darker colouring. P. catharotes 
should therefore be struck out of the African fauna.
