Longer scale bar mm refers to Figs 2, 3 and 5. Plesiothalassius capensis (Smith) Parathalassius capensis Smith, 1972, Ann. Natal Mus. 21: 456—458, figs 1—5. The original description is detailed enough to render this species easily recognizable, so a full redescription is considered unnecessary. Only an apparent error is corrected and those characters are described below in which R capensis differs from the similar P. natalensis sp. n. The eyes were described as touching on the face in the male, nearly touching in the female. These observations do not agree with mine and are obviously due to shrinkage of the specimens on which the description was based; in fact, the heads of all type specimens are so much shrunken that the shape of the face cannot be ascertained on them. Male and female (Figs 1—6): Face entirely white, without yellowish tinge, wider than in P. natalensis and of nearly equal width in both sexes, times to nearly twice depth of third antennal segment. Dilated apical section of male arista larger, as deep.
