We provide third to eighth virial coefficients of oblate, hard ellipsoids of revolution and hard lenses in dependence on their aspect ratio ν. Employing an algorithm optimized for hard anisotropic shapes, highly accurate data are accessible with comparatively small numerical effort. For both geometries, reduced virial coefficients B[over ̃]_{i}(ν)=B_{i}(ν)/B_{2}^{i-1}(ν) are in first approximation proportional to the inverse excess contribution α^{-1} of their excluded volume. The latter quantity is directly accessible from second virial coefficients and analytically known for convex bodies.
