The type specimen in the collection of Dr. Staudinger is somewhat worn, but shows that the insect is abundantly distinct from the other species herein enumerated. This is brought out clearly in the figure given. 11. S. MOTOZI, Wallgr. $ . Pterygospidea motozi, Wallgr. K. Sv. Vet.-Akad. Handl. 1857; Lep. Rhop. Caffr. p. 53 ; 2, Trim. Rhop. Afr.

Transvaal (in Staudinger's collection) ; Gaboon ( Good). The male described by me in the ' Annals and Magazine of Natural History,' and subsequently figured in the ' Entomological News,' turns out to be the male of the species described by Mabille as Pterygospidea bouvieri, if thorough reliance may be placed upon the identification made in the collection of Dr. Staudinger by Mons. Mabille, the author of the species. So far I have not been able to find in any collection a true male of S. motozioides, Holl. The female may be separated at a glance from the female of S. motozi by the absence of the conspicuous translucent spot in the cell of the secondaries, which is characteristic of motozi, Wallgr., and by the fact that the translucent spots in the primaries are much smaller than in typical motozi. 13.
