When the locality Pretoria is used as a habitat for a species,
the town itself is not necessarily designated, hut the district in
which the town is situated, and this bears a similar relation to
what the county of Yorkshire does to the city of York. I have
also included the species procured in Natal, hut this locality
is always distinguished by italics. It must also be distinctly
understood that the localities given are not intended to convey
the impression that the species are not found elsewhere in the
Transvaal, but only that at those spots I made my captures.
Many of the species have a very wide distribution, and I was
surprised to meet with some old English friends, of which a
list is added, though doubtless it could be considerably enlarged
by further experience.
