 Distribution. This species was hitherto found only 

 near the mount Kilimanjaro, at Ngurumin and at Maragoja — 

 Tembe, in German East Africa (Kraepelin 1911, p. 79), but 

 it will be found doubtless also in the southern parts of British 

 East Africa; Opisthacanthus asi)er of Simon (1890, p. 130), 

 several specimens of which «trouves au pied du Kilimanjaro* 

 during the expedition of pr. S. Teleki (1887—1888), is
