1. EUBELUM. 



. The genus Eubelum was founded by me in the year 

 1885*) upon specimens friendly sent me from Mr. Eug. 

 Simon at Paris, who had acquired them from Chinchoxo 

 in Southwest-Africa. Almost at the same time visiting 

 the Zoological Museum at Berlin I had opportunity 

 of seeing specimens of the same species there, Eubelum 

 lubricum , collected in an other locality, Laudana, in the 

 vicinity of Chinchoxo. In the year 1892 three new 

 species belonging to a new genus, Mesarmadillo, (M. Alhiaiuli, 

 M. marginalus, M. tuberculatus), were described by Mr. A. Doll- 

 fus at Paris **). These three species were found by Mr. Alluaud 

 in Abyssinia. Mr. Dollfus has been kind enough to let me 

 have a specimen of his Mesarmadillo tuberculatus, and exa- 

 mining this I was convinced that the genus Mesarmadillo is 

 very much allied to Eubelum. Last summer I have got a 

 small collection of Isopoda sent from Dr. E. Lonberg for 

 determination, they were collected in Kamerun by Mr. Y. 

 Sjostedt, and were given to the Museum at Upsala. In 

 this last collection there were several new species belonging 

 to this genus, and I also got new species from Abyssinia
