Distribution. In British East Africa there occurs not a 

 typical form of this species, which had at first been found 

 in the northern part of German East Africa (Meru) and na- 

 med by Dr. TuUgren Uroplectes intermedius\ a female spe- 

 cimen of the same variety was found by Prof. Dogiel and 

 Dr. S k 1 w near the lake Naivasha (B i r u 1 a 1915, p. 53). The 

 typical form of the species was recorded originally from the 

 east shore of the lake Nyasa (Pocock 1898, p. 4.31).
