BURR, DERMATOPTERA. -J 



Museum, from ]\Iikindani in German East Africa; both these species may occur in the 

 region round Kilimandjaro. 



In my coUection I liave a single male of an apparently undescribed species of 

 Pygidicrana from Manou in German East Africa, which probably extends its distribution 

 to the district in question. 



Labia marginalis Thünb. (ochmpus Stäl) is recorded from various scattered 

 localities in Africa, and probably occurs also in the neighbourhood of Kilimandjaro. 



It is worthy of not that although Dr. Sjöstedt has brought liome such inter- 

 esting forms in such numbers, his coUection includes no specimens of either Leptisolahis 

 nor Bormansia, which is to be regeretted, as with one exception they are only known 

 from the descriptions of Verhoeff, which is far from being sufficient, more especially 

 as no drawings of them have as yet been published. 



It is also notewortliy that Dr. Sjöstedt's coUection is unique in one respect; 

 he it includes no specimens of Labidum riparia, but a single larva of Apterygida 

 arachidis, and of Anisolabis annuUpes there are seven specimens of a distinct race, 

 which may possibly deserve specific rank. In most coUections, from any country, 

 these species easüy out number all others. 



There are also various mountain forms, at present little known, from Abyssinia; 

 perhaps some of these may extend their ränge as far south as the Alpine regions of 

 Central Africa.

 Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto, cultivated zone, 1,300—1,900 m., 17.11.05, 2 females. 

 PI. 1, fig. 1. This species was first taken at Samburu and Voi, in British 

 East Africa, by Mr. C. S. Betton, whose specimens are in the British IMuseum, with 

 also an immature specimen from Nyassa. It is probably widely distributed, through 

 perhaps not numerous, through central East Africa.

 Kilimandjaro: Kibonoto. 25. VII. 05. 6 males, 13 females and 9 larvae;

iferw-Niederung: River Ngare na nyuki. 23. XL, one male. 

 PI. 1, fig. 2. These specimens are remarkably fine, the males being 16 mm. 

 long, as compared with 12 mm., the length quoted by de Bormans for specimens 

 from Southern Africa and Zanzibar; it also occurs on the West Coast, and is recorded 

 from Fernando Po,
