from Turkestan, in Fedtschcnko's Reise in Turkestan, Neur. p. 20 (1875). It is how- 

 ever too much damaged for description. 



2. Panorpata. 



This order is only known from Africa by its remarkable Tipitlu-like genus Bittacus. 



Genus: Bittacus LATREILLE (1802). 



LATREILLE, Hist. Nat. Crust. Ins. Ill, p. 295 (1802). Three species are repre- 

 sented, all new to German East- Africa; two of them are new to science. 



* Bittacus testaceus KLUG. 



KLUG, Abh. Berl. Akad. Wissensch. 1836, p. 18 (1836). 



Fig. 3. - I bring a series of 9 specimens, with some hesitation to the species 

 described by KLUG. The type wants redescription, as the original description is very short, 

 not mentioning the form of the male genitalia, and some 

 characters do not agree with it: so the black antennae, 

 smokey brown colour of the wings, the black hindfeet and 

 dark brown feet of the other legs. The black tips of femora 

 of my specimens seem to indicate that they may belong to 

 another species. 



For the genitalia of the o 71 compare Fig. 3. 



The app. sup. are broad at the base, gradually narrowed Fig ' 3 - Bittac feslaccus - Genitalia 



of the cr, lateral view. 



towards the apex, with the tips curved downwards. The genital 



valve is very large, as long as the app. sup., nearly quadrate when seen from the underside. 

 The profile shows the upper border with an obtuse lobe. The app. inf. are cylindrical and 

 short. The penis is broad at the base, gradually diminishing towards the tip; its apex 

 is curved between the app. sup. and it ends in two flagella. 



Kilimandjaro : There are one tf and three $ from Kibonoto, 1300 1900 m., 22, 

 25 and 29 April; one a 71 and one $ from the same locality, 1000 1200 m., 21 March 

 and 23 April, and one a 71 and 2 $ from Kibonoto, cultivated zone, March, 3 and 7 April. 

 "Was sometimes caught in the tent" (SJOSTEDT). 



" Bittacus montanus, n. sp. 



Fig. 4, o 71 . - Closely related to the foregoing species and very similar to it, 

 but different in the following characters: 



Smaller, wings somewhat broader and the apex more rounded. The yellow 

 pterostigma is not rectangular and equally narrow, but the radius that runs along the 

 distal side of it, is curved so that it is broader behind the middle and has an irregular 

 quadrangular form. The cells of the apical area are shorter and nearly quadrate.
