These specimens differ very slightly in colour from the type, which occurs at 

 Massowa; the posterior border of the pronotum is narrowly testaceous, and not prov- 

 ided with a testaceous macula as in the Abyssinian examples, the cerci are testaceous 

 instead of fuscous, and the supra-anal lamina is fuscous instead of testaceous ; with these 

 slight differences excepted, the Kilimandjaro examples appear to be identical with the 

 typical specimens. In one example the egg-mass is protruding from the cloaca, the 

 eggs are enclosed in a thin transparent membrane through which the eyes of the 

 developing embryoes can be distinctly seen ; it is probablj^ the case that this species 

 carries the eggs until they are almost ready to hatch out. Another example is stated 

 to have been found ^\•ith termites, but the association was probablj^ accidental. 



Temnopteryx ectobioides sp. n. 



(PI. 2, %. 12.) 



cT. Pale testaceous. Head with a fuscous mark between the eyes and another 

 between the antennal sockets, the area between these two marks, pale pinkish-white 

 and nitid ; antennae testaceous at base, remainder fusco-testaceous. Pronotum very 

 broad, transversely truncate behind, just failing to cover vertex of head in front; 

 lateral margins broadly hyaline, disc slightly rugulose with a few brown points and 

 with a short fuscous vitta at each posterior angle. Tegmina quadrate just covering 

 the first abdominal segment, with a few brown points between the veins, anal vein
