from German South-West Africa or Orange Free State. The most 
westerly record for South Africa is Shoshong, in Bechuanaland (Bocage). 
In the Transvaal it occurs in the Zoutpansberg and Barberton Districts. 
Mabuia varia Pet. — Also a tropical species common in Angola and 
German East Africa. It occurs in every part of South Africa, with the 
possible exception of the south-west districts of Cape Province, though 
Smith’s distribution for this species is the “ whole of Southern Africa, but 
not so abundant within the boundaries of Cape Colony as beyond it ”. 
I have seen no specimens nor certain records from the south-west 
districts. It is known from Lesser Namaqualand, from the Richmond 
district, and from Kingwilliamstown (Pym). The Albany Museum has 
a specimen from Steytlerville. 
Mabuia chimbana Boul. — A tropical species occurring in German East 
Africa and in south Angola, where, according to Bocage it lives on the 
high plateau and middle zones. I think this species does not occur in 
South Africa, but I include it on the authority of Sclater’s list. According 
to Tornier (Zool. Jahrb., 190i, p. 586) it is merely a form of M. striata. 
Mabuia striata Pet. — A tropical species occurring in Angola and German 
East Africa, whence it is diffused throughout South Africa, with the excep- 
tion of the southern part of Cape Province. Dr. Jean Roux records it from 
Lesser Namaqualand, and the Kimberley Museum has the species from 
Belmont and from Kimberley. Smith’s specimens came from the north- 
eastern districts of Cape Province. 
Mabuia sulcata Pet. — This species is found on the high plateau and 
middle zone of south Angola. Fischer records it from Great Namaqua- 
land, and Boettger from Neu Barmen, Hereroiand, The South African 
Museum has specimens from Lesser Namaqualand, from the Prince Albert 
Division, the Cape Division, and from Matjesfontein, Cape Province. The 
Albany Museum has it from Jansenville and from Victoria West (Mr. 
P. D. Morris) ; Mr. Boulenger records it from the Richmond district, Cape 
Colony, and in the British Museum Catalogue the Karroo is given as 
locality. Bocage records it from Shoshong (Bechuanaland), and the 
Kimberley Museum has the species from Kimberley. 
Mabuia acuiilabris Pet. — This species occurs in the Congo and in Angola. 
It extends into Damaraland and Lesser Namaqualand. 
Lyc/osoma sundevalli Smith. — A tropical species, occurring in Zanzibar 
and Uganda, and in Angola. According to Smith it occurs “ in the country 
to the eastward of Cape Colony”. In the British Museum Catalogue it is 
recorded from Natal and Mozambique. The Transvaal Museum has a 
specimen from Bandolierkop (Zoutpansberg District), from Hectorspruit 
(Barberton District), and I have taken it at Wonderboom, near Pretoria. 
The South African Museum has a specimen from Salisbury (Mashonaland), 
and Mr. Chubb records it from Bulawayo. We have it also from Windhoek 
(German South-West Africa), the South African Museum has a specimen 
from Damaraland, and the Albany Museum has the species from Serowe, 
Bechuanaland. 
Ablepharus wahlbcrgi Smith.— A tropical species occurring in East 
Africa, Congo, and Angola. Bocage states that in Angola this specie^
