SUPPLEMENT. 



Since the publication, two years ago, of the Catalogue of the South 

 African CicindelidcB, the discovery of several very remarkable species, 

 hitherto undescribed, and discovered mainly in Zambezia (now called 

 Ehodesia), makes it necessary for me to publish a Supplement. 

 '''VMost of the novelties have been obtained from the neighbourhood of 

 Salisbury, where my valued correspondent, G. A. K. Marshall, Esq., 

 has captured no less than thirteen new species, besides recording the 

 habitat of several other known ones. 



Zambezia seems indeed to be the home of the apterous genera 

 Gosmema and Myrmecoptera, for I now know of no less than eighteen 

 species — and all extremely typical — collected in that part of South 

 Africa. 



The low lands of Zambezia and Mozambique have not yet been 

 explored by competent entomological collectors, nor has the northern 

 part of N'Gami and Ovampoland, and it can be expected that new 

 species will be discovered in these localities, but as they appear for a 

 very short time only their capture will still remain a matter of 

 difficulty.
