than I am able to bestow upon the subject, it is impossible for me 
to decide whether they are new to science or not. 
FAMILY APAMIID-. 
GENUS CARADRINA, Ochsenheimer. 
C. (?) melliflua, sp. nov. 
The upper side of the thorax is dark brown, of the abdomen 
cinereous. The upper side of the primaries is brown with a pur- 
plish sheen, the end of the cell is marked by a dark spot. The 
wing is crossed by a curved antebasal and a strongly angulated 
antemedial light line, the former bordered both inwardly and out- 
wardly by dark brown, the latter thus bordered inwardly. There 
is also a darker submarginal shade bordered externally by a paler 
tract extending along the outer border. This submarginal dark 
band is widest at the costa. The secondaries are purplish brown 
shading into blackish at the outer angle. On the under side both 
wings are ornamented by a pale waxen yellow submarginal band 
most distinct upon the primaries, between which and the outer 
margin they are deep blackish, more particularly near the outer 
angles of the wings. Expanse 30 mm. Sheikh Husein, Oct. 2, 
1894. 
FAMILY POLYDESMID-. 
GENUS PANDESMA, Guen. 
P. quenevadi, Guen., Noct., ii., p. 438 (1852). 
Several specimens. Berbera, Aug. 3, 1894. 
GENUS POLYDESMA, Boisd. 
P. smithii, sp. nov. g. Wood-brown, darkest toward the costa 
of the primaries and on the interior margin of the secondaries. 
The costal margin of the primaries is narrowly edged with ochra- 
ceous. Both wings are crossed by fine irregularly angulated lines 
after the characteristic manner of the genus. These lines are 
widest and darkest on the costa of the primaries. The species ts 
of relatively small size, and may be better diagnosed from the 
figure on the plate than by means of an elaborate verbal descrip- 
tion. Expanse 24mm. River Darde, Sept. 8, 1894.
