E. LÖNNBERG, SCORPIONS AND SOLPUGIDS. 3 



Uroplectes fischeri Karsch. 



Three specimens, some of wbicli are from the dry country 

 on the northern side of Guaso Nyiri, were found under logs 



This species is widely distribnted in East Africa, frön 

 Somaliland to Lake Nyassa. 



Scorplonidae. 

 Pandinus pallidus Krpln. 



A number of specimens of this big species were caught 

 at Njoro mostly on doum-palms under the dry adherent leaf- 

 stalks. 



KrjEPELin says in his description of this species:^ »Trun- 

 cus schmutzig ledergelb, Cd. und Hände rotbraun». I found 

 the general colour of the upper parts of this scorpion when 

 alive dark green or blackish green. 



The species was described from Somahland. 



Solpugridae. 

 Rhagodes ornatus Poc. var. phillipsi Poc. 



Only a single specimen, but a very good one, was found 

 on the northern side of Guaso Nyiri opposite Pyramide Hill, 

 some way below the crossing of the Marsabit road. 



This variety was originaljy described from Northern 

 Somaliland. It seems to be very rare in collections, and it 

 is uncertain whether any more specimens have been found 

 except the type, and this one.
