Sira pseudocoerulea Denis, 1924. This species was described by Denis from material from Abyssinia in the Paris Museum. Specimens which appear to be referable to it have been found in South Africa as below. I can detect no difference in details between these specimens and the original description.

Lepidocyetinus coopeei Handschin, 1929. var. baenaedi n. var. (Text-fig. 10.) This species is fairly common in the Cape Town neighbourhood, but all the specimens found differ constantly from the typical form. Text-fig. 10.—Lepidocyrtinus cooperi Hand. v. barnardi v. n. in the colour markings. The dark pigmentation on abdomen II of L. cooperi, instead of forming a complete band, is only present laterally, while on abdomen IV the band is present as a medial irregular transverse streak, and there is a posterior lateral spot on each side. In morphological details it fits very well into Handschin's diagnosis. I have great pleasure in associating Dr. Barnard's name with this form. Co-types in the Cape Town Museum. Localities.—Cape Town, 16th Dec. 1916; 1st Aug. 1915 at 1000 feet (K. H. B.); Kirstenbosch, , 22nd July 1930 (H. W.)..
