Distribution. This remarkable species of Pandinus 

 has originally been described from Unyamuezi, a country 

 in German East Africa; in the latter country this species 

 is widely distributed, and was found in several localities: 

 Mpapua, Ussagara, east shores of the lake Tanganyika, 

 Ugogo, Tabora, west shores of thealke Victoria-Nyanza at Buko- 

 ba and near Kilimanjaro; from the latter locality the same spe 

 cies extends into the southern parts of British East Africa, 

 but it is probably rare in this country; according to Pocock 

 (1896, p. 431) P. cavimaniis was hitherto obtained only at 

 Kinani.
