Peringuey. 347 specimen is a male labelled French Hoek, Cape Colony, Jan. 1917 (K.

Megalotheca parvula (Pering.). 1916. Xiphidion parvulum, Peringuey, he. cit., p Peringuey's description and the figures of the male genitalia are not accurate, and I think it useful to figure a cercus dissected out (fig. 4). The male subgenital plate is represented by Peringuey as deeply excised, while in fact it is truncate. Apart from the two males from Cape Town (type and co-type), I received one male from the Ceres Division, which was identified as parvula, but proved to be an entirely different and undescribed species. Its description is as follows : Fig. 4.—Megalotheca parvula (Per.). Left male cercus from inside. Megalotheca montana, sp. n. S. Slightly larger than M. parvula and less slender. of vertex strongly compressed, lamellate, acute. Fastigium Pronotum a little.
