Extract

Descriptions are given of five new species of Azotus Howard from the Ethiopian region, including one from Mauritius. These bring the total number of Azotus species known from this region to eight. Two described species, A. capensis Howard and A. elegantulus Silvestri, are annotated and figured, and a key to the species is given. The related genus, Ablerus Howard, is recorded from Africa for the first time on the basis of a new species from the eastern Cape Province, and a new East African species of Physcus Howard, is described. A second East African species of the latter genus, one with flightless females, is characterised but not named to species.
