Tanga, German East Africa. One female. 



Sjostedt has recently recorded this species 8 from the lower culture- 

 zone of Kibonoto, Kilimanjaro and from Meru, also adding additional 

 notes on the structure of the sexes. The specimen in hand is larger 

 than any previously measured from German East Africa, the dimen- 

 sions being as follows : length of body 84.5 mm. ; length of prothorax 

 2.8 ; length of mesothorax 17 ; length of metathorax 15 ; length of cephalic 

 femur 27; length of median femur 19; length of caudal femur 25. 

 Gratidia nebulosipes n. sp. 



Type: cJ 1 ; Kikuyu Escarpment, British East Africa. [Acad. Nat. 

 Sci. Phila., type No. 5,171.] 



Allied to G. fissa Karsch from German East Africa, but differing in 

 the non-dilated apex of the but marginally excised process of the anal 

 segment and in the shorter thoracic segments and limbs. Some 

 relationship exists to G. tenuis Sjostedt 9 but the narrower process of 

 the anal segment and less produced character of the same will at once 

 separate the new form. 



Size rather small; form slender; limbs but moderately elongate. 

 Head but slightly longer than the prothorax, very slightly narrowed 



caudad, the interocular transverse low 

 inflation and the fine medio-longitudinal 

 sulcus as in numerous other species of 

 the genus; occipital margin slightly pro- 

 duced into a pair of median very low
