IS 8JOSTEDTS KlLlMANDJARO-MERU EXPEDITION. 13: '2. 



* Micromus sjostedti, u. sp. 



Somewhat smaller than africanus and very different from it by the following 

 characters: Antennae pale yellow, body more yellow coloured, the dark markings smaller 

 and less conspicuous. Legs nearly white, without dark markings. Wings hyaline, nerva- 

 ture yellow, spotted with fine brown points in the forewings. The hindborcler of both 

 wings narrowly margined with brown, in the hindwings much narrower than in the fore- 

 wings. In the latter is a narrow oblique band, connecting the hindborder beyond its 

 junction with the postcosta with the middle of the frontborder and following this till 

 the pterostigma. It does not follow the inner row of gradate veins, but passes them at 

 the apical and basal sides. There are no other markings in the wings excepted some 

 very inconspicuous, small, grey points in the apical half. 



Body 5 mm., forew. 8 mm., hindw. 6 mm. Ant. 6 mm.

One female of this conspicuous species, that I name after its collector, is labelled : 

 Kilimandjaro, Kibonoto, 1300 1900 m., cultivated zone, Sept. 



Genus: Hemerobius LINNE (1740). 



LINNE, Systema Nat. Ed. II, p. 68, 156 (1740). 



This genus, so well known by the many representants in Europe, was, with the 

 exception of the Canary Islands, not known from Africa. There are two species before 

 me, both represented by one $, which are so closely allied with european species, that 

 I cannot separate them with any certainty from them and I judge it impossible to de- 

 scribe them before the tf is known. 



One female, somewhat smaller but not distinct in other points from the well- 

 known european H. nervosus F., is labelled: Kilimandjaro, Kibonoto, 1300 1900 m., 

 cultivated zone, Aug. 



The other specimen is somewhat darker coloured but not otherwise distinct from 

 the widely spread H. Immili L. It is identical with the specimen mentioned from the 

 Comores (Bull, scientif. France et Belg.) and is indicated from : Kilimandjaro, Kibonoto, 

 13001900 m., cultivated zone, 7 Sept. 



Chrysopidae. 



Genus: Ancylopteryx BRAUER (1864). 



BRAUER, Abh. Wien. zool.-bot. Ges. XIV, p. 899 (1864). - - This characteristic 

 genus, somewhat remembring the Hemerolndce in the form of the wings etc., occurs in 

 Africa and South Asia and is a typical tropic one; probably it is very primitive. 



It is represented by the following species: 



* Ancylopteryx venusta (HAGEN). 



HAGEN, in PETERS' Reise nach Mossambique, p. 90, tab. V, fig. 2 (nee fig. 1) (1862). 

 Five specimens of this variable species are from the Kilimandjaro, cultivated zone,
