 remainder of the series being represented by a just perceptible 

 undulation of the edge ; posterior femora furnished with a 

 narrow, foliaceous, inferior carina; tibiae broadly and shal- 

 lowly constricted near the apex ; first joint of the tarsi longer 

 than all the rest taken together.

 stripe along the concave outer face of the 7 + 7 abdominal 

 spines ; two pairs of delicate filaments of uncertain nature at 

 the extremity of the abdomen whity brown ; the fore legs 

 uniform pale clear vandyke-brown, and the posterior legs 

 greyish white, marbled with dark sepia-brown. 



Total length about 5 - 25 millim.

Captured by Mr. William Doherty, of Cincinnati, U.S.A., 

 who has already furnished me with much valuable material 

 for my ' Catalogue of the Mantodea,' and after whom I have 

 hence much pleasure in naming this remarkable addition to 

 the fauna of the Oriental Region.

LV. — Further DescrijJtions of Butterflies and Moths collected 

 by Mr. F. J. Jackson in Eastern Africa. By Emily Maey 

 Shaepe. 



I HAVE now finished the arrangement of Mr. Jackson's first 

 collection, and add descriptions of some new species. Until 

 his return it will be impossible for me to give the exact 

 localities where the species were collected ; but it is certain 

 that they were obtained en route from Mombasa to the Ulu 

 Mountains, the bulk being probably from the last-named 

 locality. I have again to acknowledge the kind assistance of 

 Mr. Butler in determining this collection.
