verge above. Temples short, roundly narrowed. Pronotuin shorter than the mesonolum. 

 Metanotum smooth, its sides rounded. The long spur of the hind tibiae reaches to Ihe 

 middle of metatarsus; (he claws with a distinct basal tooth. $. - - Length 7 mm. 



Kitimandjaro: Kiboscho, mountain meadows, 3000 4000 m. February. 



The 3rd anlennal joint is distinctly lunger than the fourth. The 1st transverse 

 cubital nervure is broadly roundly curved. 



This species comes close to /*. rotundin&rvis described above; that species may 

 be known from the present by the apical abscissa of radius being shorter and broadly 

 roundly curved, by the front half of the 1st transverse cubital nervure being obliquely 

 bent, not broadly roundly curved, by the very much shorter, almost obsolete temples and 

 by the stouter, thicker basal tooth of claws. 



Pompihis rotundinervis, sp. nov. 



Black, covered with a white silky pile; the palpi fuscous, the wings almost hyaline, 

 iridescent; clouded, but not deeply, from shortly beyond the 3rd transverse cubital 

 nervure; the 2nd and 3rd transverse cubital nervures united in front, almost appendicul- 

 ated; the radius roundly curved, the 1st recurrent nervure received at the base of the 

 apical third of (he cellule, the 2nd shortly beyond the middle, the transverse median 

 nervure in anterior and cubitus in hind wings interstitial. Eyes distinctly converging 

 above; the hinder ocelli separated from each other by almost double the distance they 

 are from the eyes. The long spur of the hind tibiae extends beyond the middle of the 

 metatarsus. $ Length 9 mm. 



Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto. 4th May. 



Head a little wider than the thorax; its temples almost obsolete. 3rd antennal joint 

 hardly longer than the 4th. Base of mesonotum with straight, oblique sides, angled in 

 the centre. Metanotum smooth, rounded. Anterior spurs pale; the metatarsus closely, 

 minutely spinose, without any long spines. The 3rd transverse cubital nervure is roundly 

 curved throughout. In fresh specimens the abdominal segments are probably banded 

 with white silky pile. 



Pompihis mouosjiilus, sp. nov. 



Length 8 mm. tf. - Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone. May. 



Very similar to P. rotund'tucn-is, but much more slenderly built; the 2nd cubital 

 cellule is distinctly appendiculated ; the 3rd transverse cubital nervure is more broadly 

 rounded and' the 1st is also more gradually roundly bent. The apical antennal joints 

 are roundly dilated; the 3rd joint is shortly, but distinctly longer than the 4th. Eyes 

 converging above. The hinder ocelli are separated from each other by a distinctly greater 

 distance than they are from the eyes. The long spur of the hind tibiae more than three 

 fourths of the length of Ihe metatarsus; claws with a stout basal tooth. The anal seg- 

 ment is for the greater part while. The transverse basal in (he anterior and the ac- 

 cessory nervure in the hind wings are interstitial.
