An interesting series of 74 Colcoptera of various groups 

 captured (1 908-1 911) in the Rabai district was presented by 

 the same generous donor. The following additional speci- 

 mens with the same data have been placed in the bionomic 

 series: — 2 Coccincllid beetles of the genus Epilachna and 2 

 Fentatomid bugs with a similar pattern, 1 ? Mutillid and 1 

 Clerid beetle mimicking it in a very remarkable manner. The 

 black abdomen of the stinging model is marked with two 

 pairs of white spots, of which the anterior is bright and 

 glistening, the posterior dull. The elytra of the beetle are 

 also marked by two pairs of spots bearing the same relative 

 brightness and so placed that they appear to occupy positions 

 corresponding to those of the model.
