clisc-likc apex. Denn (near the antennae) with nuinerous large circiilar spinnerets

 In the same tube was a much smaller and younger example, evidently of the same 

 species, judging from its narrowly elongated form, but this example had imperfect 

 antennae so that is was not possible to t'ully describe it. Tliis species has a marked 

 resemblance to Green's M. Stebbingi, but may be distinguished from this insect by 

 its reddish colour, by the relative lengtli in the antennal segments, the Gurions trun- 

 cate spines on the tibia and the singular form of tlie digitules.

 tarsal digitule, 3 c tarsal spiiic ; 4 denn. 



Moiiophlehus sp. 



Possibly the same as tlie hxst, but immature and also imperfect. It is of a 

 much brighter red than J/. Sjöstedti, but this is probably due to age, and the appar- 

 ently complete absence of farinose covering. 



Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto, December, 1905. Among grass, especially scrub.
