Coleoptera from South Africa. 407 
The determination of this insect is somewhat doubtful. 
The type is from Madagascar, and Mulsant was inclined to 
consider it merely a small form of O. calliops. ‘The larger of 
our two examples is only 4 millimetres in length.

Hab. Mashonaland, Umfuli River (Marshall). 
Three examples, excessively like and hardly to be separated 
from O. Méklint, Muls., may possibly belong to this Mada- 
gascar species. 
Rodolia? (Endochilus, Weise ?).

Aulis annexa, Muls., Crotch, tom. cit. p. 294. 
Flab. Mashonaland, Salisbury, Lesapi River. 
Six examples obtained by beating the ‘‘ mosasa’’ tree or 
Acacia are probably to be referred to this species ; but they 
differ from a specimen in the Cambridge Museum by the red 
spots not being so confluent. 
Aulis sp.? 
Hab. Natal, Frere ?, 166 (Marshall). 
A single specimen of the size of A. annexa, but with the 
red spots differently arranged, and densely clothed with grey 
pubescence.
