Abd. 5 : /2 mm., gr. br. 5 6 mm., gr. br. 3724-72 mm. ? 14 mm. 



One male and four females from KiUmandjaro, Kibonoto, 1300 1900 m., cultivated 

 zone, 20 Sept.; lower Kibonoto, 2 Jan.; KiUmandjaro-Steppe and Meru, rainforest, 

 3000 m., Jan. 



In a very immature female the dark colorations of body and basal joints of 

 antennae are absent. 



* Chrysopa kibonotoensis, n. sp. 



Of about the same size as sjostedti, pale yellow, labial palpi nearly black, with pale 

 annulations. Antennae yellow, with brown pubescence, nearly as long as the forewings, 

 the two basal joints marked as in sjostedti. Pronotum with dark sides. Meso- and meta- 

 notum yellow. Abdomen yellow, the two basal sternits plumbeous. Side- and hindborders 

 of the tergits sepiabrown. 



Legs pale yellow, the feet somewhat darker. 



Wings somewhat more elongate than in sjostedti, tips somewhat more acute. 

 Nervature whitish; in the forewings are the costalveins, most of the crossveins, radial- 

 sector and cubitus anterior black in the middle and spotted with black. The inner row 

 of gradate veins is margined with fuscous and in both wings there is a fuscous point 

 before the pterostigma. Membrane with a green reflection. 



Body 10 mm., forew. 1572 mm., hindw. 14 mm. Ant. 14 mm. 

 Abd. 6 mm., gr. br. 57^ mm., gr. br. 4 mm. 



Two males, indicated: KiUmandjaro, Kibonoto, 1300 1900 m., cultivated zone, 

 20 Sept. and 29 April. 



* Chrysopa tenella SCHNEIDER. 



SCHNEIDER, Monogr. Chrysop. p. 94, tab. 25 (1851). - One specimen from lower 

 Meru, Ngare na nyuki, 24 Nov., is so very similar to european specimens, that I cannot 

 separate these insects. By the large geographical distribution of some species (vulgaris 

 SCHNEID. etc.) and the very similar biology, it is very well possible that this species also 

 has a larger distribution than hitherto was known. 



* Chrysopa vulgaris SCHNEIDER. 



SCHNEIDER, Monogr. Chrysop. p. 68, tab. 8 (1851). - This species, so very widely 

 spread, is known from Egypt, and there is a series of four specimens from KiUmandjaro, 

 Kibonoto, 1300 1900 m., cultivated zone, rainforest, 2000 m., August October. 

 Some of them have some dark suffused veins, but I saw similar european specimens in 

 the collection of the Leyden Museum. 



Chrysopa spec. 



One specimen, of which the tips of the antennae are broken off, from KiUma- 

 ndjaro, Kibonoto, cultivated zone, April, is closely related to Chr. sogdianica MAC LACHL.
