The colours of the female are not known. 
Only a very few specimens of this species have yet been procured, and none beyond the 
forests which border upon Port Natal. Those which we have seen were found in damp retired 
situations ; and when discovered, were actively employed, beneath the brushwood, in search 
of food.
