038F831171035047FF1CFA3D464C9C17.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species was described from an unspecified number of specimens from “ Coll. F. Hauser ” finally traced to the ZMHB and I was able to borrow the type series. Despite the fact that the original description lists only a single size, implying a single specimen, there are three specimens in the series sent from Berlin. None of the three is labelled as “ Typus ” in the normal manner by Obenberger and none has any label indicating that he ever saw or determined them. It cannot be demonstrated that this is the original type series, but after more than 20 years of looking, I’m satisfied that the designation of a lectotype will stabilize this species’ definition. The header label indicates “ Ch. Hauseri Ob. Afr. or. ” and the three specimens are each labelled “ Afr. or. Jkutha ”. The Obenberger collection in Prague (NMPC) contains no specimens of this taxon. Therefore a lectotype has been designated (new designation) from these three specimens with the two remaining labelled as paralectotypes. New distributional and adult host data for this species are: [TANZA- NIA] Kirumba b. Muansa, D. O. Afr. (p), am Grewia (h); KENYA Sagala Hills (CLBC) (new country and adult host).	en	Bellamy, C. L.

This species is named for the province of origin, collected in Natal before the adoption of the current provincial name (Kwazulu-Natal) and is the only species known from outside of the eastern Cape. Paradorella natalensis differs from its congeners most substantially by the black coloration and is the only species with antennae serrate from antennomere 5. The species of Paradorella can be distinguished in the following key:	en	Bellamy, C. L.

This now bitypic genus has heretofore only been known for the holotype of the genotype species, P. arcuata (Péringuey, 1908) as discussed earlier by Bellamy & Holm (1985). Considering the diversity of coraebine taxa from Subsaharan Africa, including Madagascar (e. g. Bellamy, 2001, 2006 b), it is not surprising to find that another species exists.	en	Bellamy, C. L.

This new second species can be separated from P. arcuata as follows: P. arcuata has the serrate antennomeres longer than wide from 6, while in P. zuluensis the serrate antennomeres are slightly wider than long from 5; the elytral topography of swollen areas differs between the two species with the disk of P. arcuata more irregular having additional elevations; the extent of the lateral emargination of P. zuluensis results in more of the abdominal tergites being visible from above. The dark setation of this species is possibly the result of a greased condition of the holotype.	en	Bellamy, C. L.

038F8311710B504FFF1CFA6244459EC7.taxon	discussion	Comments. The definition of the Meliboeus Deyrolle, 1864 genus-group constituency is currently in flux (Bellamy 1990, 2006 a, Kubáň 2006). This new monotypic genus is proposed now for the type species which lacks several of the important character states that define Meliboeus Deyrolle, 1864, most notably the entire transverse carina of the hypomeron, the irregularly spinose margin of the pygidium and the membranous lateral projections of the parameres (see Bellamy 1990). This new genus-group taxon is placed within the Amorphosomatina and keys to the Cryptomorpha Bellamy, 1988 / Vanroonia Obenberger, 1923 couplet in the generic key I published earlier (Bellamy 1988 a). Considering the large number of species of Meliboeus described from Subsaharan Africa (113 spp., fide Bellamy, 1991), it will not be surprising to find additional species that should be transferred to this or other genera.	en	Bellamy, C.
