A large species of this family, _Jana Mariana_, was collected by Mr. Oates at Tati, and is figured in Plate G, fig. 6. The type specimen is in the British Museum from Congo. It belongs to the modern Genus _Jana_, of Boisduval, but was described by the late Adam White under the name of _Bombyx Mariana_ (Ann. Nat. Hist. xii. 264). It is fawn-coloured, the fore wings with four slender oblique undulating brown bands. In the hind wings the bands are rather broader and more distinct, and there is a large purplish black spot at the base of the latter. The fore wings measure from 4 inches to 4⅔ inches in expanse. The species of the remaining Lepidopterous families captured by Mr. Oates did not comprise any remarkable new species, and were for the most part in a much broken condition, rendering their determination very difficult. Order COLEOPTERA. Family _Cicindelidæ_. Of the carnivorous ground beetles five genera of CICINDELIDÆ _Manticora_, _Platychile_, and _Dromica_, with _Ophryodera_ and _Bostrichophorus_, are peculiar to the central and eastern sub-regions of Africa. Of the first-named genera, Mr. Oates collected specimens of the gigantic _Manticora latipennis_, Waterhouse, together with a fine new species of _Dromica_ characterized below:-- DROMICA (MYRMECOPTERA) OATESII, Westw. (Plate G, fig. 5, and Plate H, figs. 1, 1_a_, 1_b_.) Nigra, capite rugose striolato, labro lævi, in medio fulvo; pronoto subopaco transverse striolato, linea media dorsali albo-hirta, elytris obovalibus granulatis, singulis 5-costatis, costis longe ante apicem desinentibus; costa suturæ proxima e tuberculis oblongis formata; costa 2da ad basim straminea, nigro-punctata; margine externo inter medium et apicem linea gracili albida notato; antennis pone articulum 4tum dilatatis, compressis, articulis sensim ad apicem decrescentibus. Fœm. Long. corp. unc. 1, lat. med. elytr. lin. 3½. Family CARABIDÆ. Of this family there are 17 peculiarly South African Genera, including _Crepidogaster_, _Hystrichopus_, _Arsinoë_, and _Piezia_. The genera _Eunostus_, _Glyphodactyla_, and _Megalonychus_, occur in Madagascar as well as in South Africa. The greater portion of the gigantic species of _Anthia_ are African, and of these a number were collected by Mr. Oates, including _A. maxillosa_, Fabricius, _Mellyi_, De Breme, _cinctipennis_, Dupont, _guttata_, Melly, MS. in Brit. Mus., and an apparently undescribed species. Of the allied Genus _Cypholoba_, specimens were captured of _C. alveolata_, De Breme, and 7-_guttata_, Fabricius. Of _Polyhirma_ two species, _P. macilenta_, Olivier, and _amabilis_, Boheman (?), and two species of _Graphipterus_, _G. cordiger_, Dejean, and _Westwoodii_, De Breme (?). _Drypta jucunda_ and _Orthogonius caffer_, complete the list of CARABIDÆ.
