closely set fulvous sete, it is convex on the upper side and altogether 
scabrose except for a somewhat faint smooth median longitudinal 
band; scutellum with only one puncture on each side of the apical 
part; elytra very convex, somewhat short, being only twice and a 
quarter the length of the prothorax, slightly amplated laterally past 
the middle, fringed with long, somewhat scattered fulvous hairs from 
the humeral angle to about one-third of the length, and thence with 
a thick band of shorter ones, covered with closely set punctures 
enclosing a minute granule and bearing a short, decumbent squamose 
and somewhat long greyish-white hair; pygidium with somewhat 
deep, round, scattered punctures; pectus clothed with a dense, long 
fulvous pubescence ; abdominal segments with a transverse row of 
punctures bearing each a very long, decumbent seta, penultimate one 
pluri-punctate laterally, not wider than the one preceding, last one 
somewhat narrow, plane; anterior tibiae very sharply tri-dentate, 
tarsi somewhat short; basal joint of the hind ones dilated at the tip 
and longer than the one following. 
Length 13 mm.; width 8 mm. 
This species, the male of which is unknown, is allied to S. globator, 
and has likewise a thick fringe of dense, short hairs along the outer 
and posterior margins of the elytra; it differs, however, from it in the 
absence of a longitudinal raised line in the centre of the elypeus, the 
prothorax is scabrose instead of being broadly punctate, the sculpture 
is different and it is as convex as S. natalensis 2 .

SCHIZONYCHA BOSCHIMANA, Nl. spec. 
Female: Ferruginous-red, with the elytra a little paler than the 
head and prothorax, shining, glabrous on the upper side except for a 
row of not closely set sete along the outer margin of the prothorax 
and elytra; clypeus quite truncate in front and not much rounded 
laterally, clypeal carina distinctly arcuate, and having behind a 
straight transverse impressed line, the basal carina is situated at 
some distance from the base, and is slightly arcuate, the surface of 
the whole head is coarsely punctured; prothorax sharply crenulate 
along the sides which are plainly narrowed from the apical part to 
about two-thirds of the length where they are ampliated, and thence 
obliquely attenuated towards the basal angle, it is closely but not 
sharply scabrose except along the base where it is nearly smooth, 
and along the base it has a short fringe of flavescent hairs; scutellum 
with a lateral row of punctures on each side; elytra elongated, twice 
and a half the length of the prothorax, a little sinuate laterally before
