264 Miss I. B. J. Sollas on a new 



cell much less produced outwards than in the former genus, 

 but decidedly more than in the latter. Vein 2 from a little 

 beyond the middle of the cell, 3 from midway between 2 and 

 the lower angle, 4 from the angle, 5 from just above the 

 angle and so forming a short right angle with the disco- 

 cellular before receding basewards, 6 from below the upper 

 angle; 7, 8, and 9 stalked, 7 and 8 from about midway 

 between the angle and the termen, 9 from nearer the cell than 

 vein 8; 10 absent; 11 long, from the cell reaching nearly to 

 the apex : secondaries with 1 and 1 a stalked for nearly half 

 the length of 1 ; lower part of cell and veins 2, 3, 4, 5 as in 

 MarshaUiana ; vein 6 from well below the upper angle, 7 

 from the upper angle, 8 with a bar to the cell as shown in 

 the figure of the neuration of Metarbela umtaliana, Auriv.*. 



Type, Catarbelana bassa, B-B. 



This genus will come after MarshaUiana, Auriv., but 

 before Catarbela, Auriv. 



Catarbelana bassa, sp. n. 



g . Head, thorax, abdomen, and primaries uniform pale 

 brown. Primaries with fine dark reticulations all over the 

 wing, but with two prominent dark lines, viz. the postmedian 

 line and the subterminal, the former slightly excurved for 

 upper portion, but sharply incurved on the fold, the sub- 

 terminal line being nearly erect for the upper part to 

 vein 3, where it is angled outwards into the tornus about 

 vein 2 ; a dark basal dash on the inner margin to over a half, 

 rising in a short basal tuft : secondaries uniformly darker 

 brown than the primaries. 



Expanse 34 mm. 



Hab. N. Nigeria, Lokoja District.

 By Igeena B. J. Sollas. 



A COLLECTION of freshwater organisms from the Valkenberg 

 Vlei, near Cape Town, was brought to me in October 1907 

 by Miss Stephens, who tells me that her collection is the first 

 which has been made in that Vlei. Thanks to her care in 

 daily supplying the organisms with fresh water during the
