SPHODROMANTIS Stal. 



Sphodromantis rudolfae (Rehn). 



1901. Sphodropoda rudolfoe Rehn, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1901, p. 282. 

 [Near southern end of Lake Rudolf, western Gallaland.] 



Harrar, Abyssinia. One male. 



This form, which may be merely a geographic race of S. bioculata, 

 differs from the latter in the generally smaller size, broader head, 

 breadth of pronotum, and shorter pronotum, cephalic femora and teg- 

 mina, which latter in the female fall considerably short of the apex 

 of the abdomen. 



The Harrar male measures as follows: length of body, 42.5 mm.; 

 greatest width of head, 6.8; length of pronotum, 11.5; greatest width 

 of pronotum, 4.2; length of tegmen, 35; length of cephalic femur, 10. 



Sphodromantis lineola (Burrueister).

 Abth. II, Pt. 1, p. 537. [Sierra Leone.] 



Mombasa. One male. [Hebard Collection.] 



This specimen is almost uniform greenish-yellow in color. 



HOPLOCORYPHA St&l. 



Hoplocorypha galeata (Gerstaecker). 



1870. Mantis (Danuria ?) galeata Gerstaecker, Archiv fur Naturgeschichte, 

 XXXV, p. 210. [Lake Jipe, German East Africa.] 



German East Africa. One male, one female. 



Kikuyu Escarpment, British East Africa. Two immature females. 



Hoplocorypha macra (Stal). 



1856. [Mantis] macra Stal, Ofv. K. Vet.-Akad. Forh., XIII, p. 169. [Port, 

 Natal.] 



Merule to Murchison Falls, Uganda. One female. 



Mombasa, B. E. Africa. One female. [Hebard Collection.] 



Zambesia. One female. 



Transvaal. (C. W. Howard.) Two males. 



Mossamedes, Angola. One female. 



From the evidence of this material it appears that this species ranges 

 north along the east coast to Mombasa and in the interior to Uganda. 

 It is probable that it is not found in the same region as Gerstaecker's 

 galeata, which may be restricted to the more elevated regions of East 

 Africa, although the evidence is too slight to make any deductions. 

 However, the above facts may explain the inability of some previous 

 authors to separate East African material presumed to represent 

 galeata from South African examples of macra.
