Extract

The taxonomic status of Caryedon pallidus (Olivier) is discussed and its identity related to a species found in West Africa breeding in seeds of Cassia obtusifolia. Specimens of Caryedon breeding in Cassia senna from the Nile basin are shown to be a distinct species. This, and a further species from Armenia, both of which had been previously misidentified as Caryedon pallidus, are described as new.
