Aug.; Kibonoto lowlands, 2 Jan. and 18 April, and 2 from Kibonoto, 1800 1900m., 

 cultivated zone, in a bananas farm, Aug. They are somewhat larger than the type-spe- 

 cimen, and the number and form of the dark spots is very variable like in the asiatic 

 species. Characteristic is the black spot on the mesonotum, which spot in some spe- 

 cimens is divided into two ones. 



Genus: Chrysopa LEACH (1815). 



LEACH, Edinb. Encycl. IX, p. 138 (1815). 



The african species of this widely spread genus, which longtimes needs a division 

 into more genera, are very unsufficiently studied. I am acquainted with five species: 

 cliloris SCHNEIDER from the Cape, brevicollis RAMBUR from Isle de France, congrua WALKER 

 from West-Africa, antica WALKER from Sierra Leone and sansibarica KOLBE from Sansibar. 

 Three of these are represented in German East-Africa with the following new species. 



* Chrysopa chloris SCHNEIDER. 



SCHNEIDER, Monogr. Chrysop. p. 95 n 20, tab. 26 (1850). - - This species, origin- 

 ally described from the Cape is, like many species of that country, spread over East- 

 Africa. There is a series of 17 specimens, all from the Kilimandjaro, Kibonoto, 

 13001900 m. (Kulturzone-Mischwald), Aug., Oct. and Jan., and from the rainforest, 

 2000 m., Sept. The specimens collected in the lastquoted month are a little smaller. 



* Chrysopa congrua WALKER. 



WALKER, Cat. Brit. Mus. Neur., p. 238 11 2 (1853). CJir. concolor WALKER, 

 ibidem, p. 239 n 6 (1853). 



This species, closely related to vnlgaris SCHNEID., is spread throughout Africa. There 

 are two specimens from Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone, 1300 1900 m., Aug. 



Chrysopa sansibarica KOLBE. 



KOLBE in STUHLMANN, Deutsch Ost-Afrika, IV, Neuropt., p. 35 (1897). - One spe- 

 cimen, somewhat smaller than KOLBE'S type, 18 mm. wing-expanse, from lower Merit, 



Ngare na nyuki, Jan. 



Chrysopa sjostedti, n. sp. 



Colour of body yellowish red. Sides of the labrum, tips of labial palpi and side- 

 borders of the pronotum brown. Meso- and metanotum with a brown spot at the sides. 

 Abdomen unicolorous yellowish red. Antennae as long as or slightly longer than the 

 fore wings in the a 71 , shorter in the $, yellowish and brown towards the tip. The two 

 basal joints with a lateral black stripe and point. 



Legs yellowish, the feet somewhat darker, brown, the claws scarcely dilated at the base. 



Wings rather broad, with obtuse tips, hyaline, the membrane with bluish reflection. 

 Nervature yellow in both wings. In the forewing the first row of gradate veins is broadly 

 margined with fuscous, the second row is only slightly indicated by fuscous suffusion and 

 the forks of the outer margin are also distinctly indicated by fuscous.
