the valves of the genital armature is different.

Plate XLI., fig. 53. 
Brick-red, with the elytra slightly paler than the prothorax ; 
clypeus deeply and broadly emarginate in front in the centre, 
clypeal carina hardly arcuate and slightly sinuate supra-laterally, 
basal carina distinct and projecting in the centre. The surface 
of the whole head, including the basal part, is covered with round, 
deep, non-contiguous punctures, no clypeal suture; prothorax 
rounded and ampliated laterally from the median to the basal 
part, and with the anterior obliquely attenuate and slightly sinuate, 
impressed transversely on each side at a short distance from the 
anterior margin, covered with somewhat deep, round punctures 
separated from each other by a space wider than their own 
diameter, and somewhat asperous on the sides and along the 
anterior part, the outer margin is only very slightly serrulate, 
and only in the posterior part; scutellum deeply and _ closely 
punctured; elytra covered with deep punctures separated by an 
interval about equal to their diameter, and slightly cicatricose in 
the anterior part; pygidium with deep foveate punctures somewhat 
closely set; sides of the abdominal segments and of metasternum 
deeply and closely punctured, pectus very little hairy, penultimate 
abdominal segment wider than the preceding one; anterior tibix 
tri-dentate, tarsi long, upper part of the claw longer than the lower 
and equally robust. 
Female unknown. 
Length 11 mm.; width 5 mm. 
Southern Rhodesia (between the Limpopo and Zambesi Rivers). 
SCHIZONYCHA PARILIS, nN. Spec. 
Light testaceous, head and prothorax testaceous-red ; it resembles 
extremely S. transvaalica; the sculpture is the same, but the 
head is not quite as broad and the clypeus, which is semicircular 
in the female, is less broadly truncate, but also plainly emarginate ;
